Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
2 (20 ounce) bags frozen cauliflower
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon salted butter, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons bacon bits
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon black pepper

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.

This was a great way to use up some leftover cauliflower. I added some chopped broccoli and carrots to the mix and it turned out delicious.
