Comfort food lover’s rejoice!
Everyone loves a good casserole and this one is a low carb alternative to the classic Loaded Potato Casserole. Mashed Cauliflower takes the place of the potato, then I added in creamy elements like sour cream and shredded cheese {you can never have too much cheese!} and an overload of bacon flavors including diced thick cut bacon, Bacon Salt, and Bacon cream cheese! The result is this scrumptious Bacon Lover’s Loaded Cauliflower Casserole.

  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese or a blend, shredded

Everyone keeps asking if we are settled yet. Nope. Still sorting, unpacking,  donating, rearranging, organizing, and eating a cookie every now and then.
