Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon

  • 1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cut into bite-size pieces

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¼ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

  • cup sour cream

  • 4 scallions, sliced, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool. (Reserve the drippings in the pan.)

  3. Combine cauliflower, pepper, salt and the bacon drippings in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roast, stirring twice, until tender, about 35 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup cheese, 2/3 cup sour cream and half the scallions in a small bowl. When the cauliflower is tender, stir the cheese mixture into the cauliflower in the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until hot, 5 to 7 minutes more.

  5. Chop the cooled bacon. Sprinkle the hot casserole with the bacon and the remaining scallions.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
