I made these faux-tato’s tonight with a steak, and WOW!! This is a phenomenal recipe! I am insulin resistant, and I am getting back into this low carb lifestyle. With the help of your fantabulous recipes, I believe that I will be able to stay with this lifestyle for good, finally. I would normally get bored with the same ole stuff, but you have definetly helped me to WANT to stick with it! You are a blessing to me and my health!! God bless!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad I can be of help.
Made this for lunch today. Fabulous!!! Thanks for the recipe.
OMG I just made this recipe but with a little change, I saved half the bacon, green onions and cheese and put on top before baked……….It was delicious………Thank you for your wonderful recipes……….I will keep trying them. YUM YUM!!!!!
I made this recipe again but instead of using cauliflower I used zucchini (shredded). It was awesome as well.
We had this tonight. I modified it a bit…steamed the cauliflower in the microwave instead of stovetop, used 8 oz of cream cheese because I didn’t have any sour cream, garlic chives instead of green onions, plain old salt & pepper instead of garlic pepper seasoning, reserved some of the cheese to go on top. It was very good! Four of us polished off the whole thing as a main course. 🙂
You have officially gained a new follower. I am OBSESSED with your recipes! My husband and I have recently had a change of lifestyle and are low carb eaters now. It’s very helpful to have fast, budget friendly recipes to try, in lieu of eating the same old plain jane foods every night. Thank you so much!! :))
That’s awesome. Thanks so much for the compliment.
This just came out of the oven and it’s too late to eat it now ( 9 p.m. MST). It smells really good. I’ll probably have it for breakfast! 🙂
I just made this. WONDERFUL!!! My husband and kids love it. Great side dish with some chicken. I miss potatoes, but not with this. Thanks Holley!!!
SCORE!!! I’ve tried many cauliflower recipes, but this was the first that I will make again (and again!). I’m not a huge lover of cooked cauliflower … loved it! This and your Lasagna Stuffed Peppers (w/the meat sauce) are in my Top 10!
Thanks so much for the kind words. So happy you enjoyed it.
Fabulous meal, absolutely loved it. Really tasty
