To make a pan of this loaded cauliflower, simply cut a head of cauliflower into large floret chunks ...
Then steam the floret chunks until they're very tender. A fork should pierce into the steamed florets very easily.
Next, chop the steamed cauliflower ...
... until it's in little bitty pieces, about like this:
Mix the chopped cauliflower pieces with sour cream, bacon, chopped green onion, and cheese and spoon it into a baking dish.
Then, top the mixture with some more cheese. Because loaded baked potato just isn't loaded without a load of cheese, right?
And then toss a little sprinkling of bacon on top for good measure.
Bake the cauliflower mixture until it's all melty and bubbly and you just can't wait to dig in.
Other than the taste, another thing I love about this casserole is it's easy. And isn't easy and tasty the best combination?
