Low Fat Cauliflower With Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until tender, but not overly soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Mash, using a potato masher, leaving some chunks.
• Reserve 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon bacon bits. Mix remaining Cheddar cheese, remaining bacon bits, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, butter, salt, and pepper into the mashed cauliflower in the bowl. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle reserved Cheddar cheese and bacon bits on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water.
• Cover pan and steam about 8 minutes or until almost tender.
• Remove steamer basket and set aside. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook bacon 4-5 minutes or until browned.
• Add scallions, cauliflower and salt and pepper to taste. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently until hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large, square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Put cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in microwave oven until tender, about 6 minutes.
• Blend cauliflower in a food processor until smooth; add sour cream, yogurt, and butter and process again until smooth.
• Mix blended cauliflower mixture in a bowl with 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, chives, garlic, and black pepper; spread into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven on the middle rack until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Switch oven to 'broil' and continue baking until the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.
