Cauliflower Bake

Fazila Olla-Logday
Loaded Cauliflower Bake is steamed cauliflower combined with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese and chives. Cauliflower has never tasted this good!
This delicious casserole makes an excellent meal on its own or as a side dish, it’s very low in carbs and its so easy to make.
How to Make Cauliflower Bake
Start by steaming your cauliflower until just tender. Then drain well because you don’t want any added moisture in this dish. In the same pot that the cauliflower was steamed in over a medium low heat, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder and onion powder until smooth and creamy.  Slowly and gently stir in the steamed cauliflower, chives and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. 
Spoon into a casserole dish and top with more cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and gooey.  Garnish with chives and serve hot.
