Thank you for the feedback, Dianne. So glad you liked it, I make it often it’s one of my favorites too.
Hi Matt, thanks for sharing your awesome recipe. Initially this dish was for my husband as he is on keto diet at the moment. However this cauliflower baked is able to hook my son as well whose doesn’t like cauliflower at all. My son loves it now. He has been asking me to bake again! I made it again and absolutely delicious.
Hey Natalia,
So glad everyone enjoyed it, it’s one of my favorites too.
I can say it was absolutely delicious thank you!
Hi, can I use cream cheese instead of sour cream?
Thank you
Hi Rahman,
You sure can!!
is the bacon supposed to be cooked or uncooked before adding it to the dish?
Hi Lina,
We used smoked bacon so it is “cooked” when we buy it.
I found this recipe today and whipped it up and cannot day enough good things about it!! It’s just like eating a loaded baked potato without the starch and carbs. I am beyond thrilled I found it and will be making it again and again! Will poke around for more yummy Keto friendly recipes like this on your site! XO
Thank you for your kind words, Stanya!
I made this today with Broccoli and cauliflower and it was absolutely delicious. Will make again and again.
Tried this. Gorgeous!
I just made it today, i dont have sour cream so i used cream cheese, super yummy, thank you
I found this recipe a couple of weeks ago and I’ve already made it 3 times. Everyone lives it. Even my pickier eater.
I made this and it was really delicious…guests loved it and asked for second helpings. I blended the seasonings in with the cauliflower, cheese and sour cream instead of layering as the recipe called for. I also precooked the bacon and crumbled it into the cauliflower mixture before baking, and blended the last mozzarella and cheddar cheese and spread it on top.
I will be making this dish again.
Hi Helene,
Thank you for your kind words! Your changes sound great.
