Best 6 Bacon Swiss Potato Cauliflower Casserole Recipes

EASY CHEESY LOADED CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with butter. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a small 1.5 quart (1.4 L) casserole dish in a single layer. (Line the pan unless it's glass or stoneware. If there's too much cauliflower to fit in a single layer, roast on a larger baking sheet instead.) Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp-tender.
• Meanwhile, in the same bowl, whisk together the sour cream and heavy cream, until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the bacon bits, and half of the green onions. If desired, season sauce with sea salt and black pepper. (Don't oversalt - it will get more salty as the cheese melts later.)
• When the cauliflower is done roasting, take it out and leave the oven on. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and mix with the sauce.
• Return the cauliflower mixture to the casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
• Bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts. Top with remaining green onions.

CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a wide 3-quart (9x13) casserole dish, with nonstick spray, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Transfer the cauliflower to the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer. Keep the bowl handy. Roast cauliflower on the lower rack for 30 minutes, until the florets are tender and begin to brown.
• Meanwhile, arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared foil-lined baking sheet. Bake on the upper rack until crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the bacon and cauliflower from the oven. Stir the cauliflower, spread it back into an even layer, and place it on the upper rack to continue cooking until the end of its baking time.
• Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and lightly pat dry. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop or crumble the bacon into small pieces.
• In the same bowl that you used to toss the cauliflower, beat together the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until combined. Stir in 1/3 cup Gruyere cheese, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and half of the chopped bacon.
• Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and dollop the cream cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of Gruyere and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan.
• Return the pan to the upper third of the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and gooey, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the oven to broil. Broil the casserole until golden on top, 1 to 3 minutes. Do not walk away, and watch carefully to make sure the cheese does not burn.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chives and remaining bacon. Serve hot.

POTATO AND CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
• In a pot with enough water to cover, boil the potatoes 10 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain, and set aside.
• In a pot, place the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam 5 minutes, until tender but still firm. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and whisk in the flour. Gradually stir in the heavy cream until thickened. Remove from heat, and mix in 1/2 cup Swiss cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the potatoes and cauliflower in the prepared casserole dish. Pour the cream sauce over the potatoes and cauliflower, and sprinkle with the remaining Swiss cheese.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

CAULIFLOWER AND BACON GRATIN

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, blend the bread until it forms into crumbs.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly until all the butter has been absorbed and the bread crumbs are toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream and flour. Add the capers, bacon and 1/2 cup of the Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and toss with the cream mixture. Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
• Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND BACON CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Potato and Cauliflower Layer -- In a large pot of boiling salted water on medium high heat, cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes and then add the cauliflower and cook another 5 minutes under tender. Remove from the heat and drain. Using a potato masher or even just a fork, slightly mash. I like to do a rough mash for this dish. Add, salt, pepper, milk and butter and set to the side.
• Bacon, Pepper and Onion Layer -- In a medium saute pan, add the bacon and saute until crisp. Remove and let it drain on a paper plate lined with a paper towel. In the same pan, use the bacon drippings (no more than 1 teaspoon, you don't want too much oil) to cook the onion and red pepper red pepper until tender. Once the onion and pepper are done add the scallions, salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat, drain if necessary (you don't want this oily) and set to the side.
• Cheese and Crumb Mixture -- In a small bowl, add the melted butter, bread crumbs and cheese and mix well to combine.
• Casserole -- In a casserole dish, spray with non stick spray and heat the oven to 375. Add a layer on the potato cauliflower mix; then a layer of the bacon, pepper and onions; then a layer of the cheese and bread crumb mix. Next, again, the potato cauliflower; bacon, pepper and onions; and then the cheese and bread crumbs.
• Bake -- Thirty (30) minutes until golden brown and bubbly. This is a great side dish and makes a great presentation when you cut into it and serve.
