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!!!!!
Maricruz says
I made this recipe again but instead of using cauliflower I used zucchini (shredded). It was awesome as well.
Sarah S says
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. 🙂
Olivia Gray says
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!! :))
Kyndra Holley says
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! 🙂
Demetria says
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!!!
Julie says
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!

Deb says
I ordered your book Craveable Keto from Amazon (& left great feedback for you) and am just in love with your recipes. I started Keto on April 9th after following a few friends since January and have lost 18 lbs since then. I couldn’t put down your book and carry it everywhere I go. I have several friends who have ordered it and started following you as well. Thank you for your “story” and for being so down to earth!
Deb says
BTW… I hated cauliflower before this recipe!

Can I substitute plain greek yogurt for the sour cream?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I dont see why that wouldn’t work just fine.
Judy Chard says
Delicious. My husband is diabetic and he loved. Going to add to Thanksgiving dinner, along with mashed potatoes so he will feel like he has the real deal.

Can you use frozen “riced” cauliflower instead of fresh? If so, how much would you use?
Adriana says
OMG! Came across this while searching for an epic low carb side dishto bring to a friend’s birthday lobster dinner! This should be perfect!
Stacey says
Could you freeze leftovers?
Adriana says
This is on my Thanksgiving day menu, can’t wait to try it! Can it be assembled one day ahead?
Lisa North says
OMG! This was absolutely amazing! I have had trouble finding a tasty cauliflower recipe. They just never turn out right. I am telling everyone about this recipe!! I did not have cheddar cheese on hand so I put in some pepper jack and mostly muenster cheese. I then ate a serving everyday for six days! I was never sick of it! It tasted more like a twice baked potato dish! I can’t wait to make it again!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Gloria says
