Loaded Cauliflower Casserole is a low carb, delicious alternative to loaded potato casserole. You'll want this easy baked cauliflower casserole in regular rotation after you taste how good it is!
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and spray a 2 quart casserole dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Wash your cauliflower and break it up into small pieces. (I usually chop it in half then break up the florets by hand). Add them to a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes or until fork tender.
1 medium cauliflower, 1 cup water
Drain and return to the saucepan.
To the cooked cauliflower, add the sour cream, cheddar cheese, panko, salt, pepper, and onion. Gently mix.
1 cup sour cream, 1 cup cheddar cheese + more for topping, 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup onion, 1.5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
Spread the mixture into your prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle with more shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
Top with chopped bacon.
1 strip crisp bacon
Notes
If you don't have fresh cauliflower, frozen will work. Just steam it in the microwave, then continue the steps.
