Twice Baked Cauliflower

Last night I made one my favorite side dishes. This was something I had found about a month after we started our Ketogenic diet and my husband and I eat it at least once a week. 


Twice Baked Cauliflower consists of every key ingredient in a Ketogenic diet; cauliflower, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and bacon. All of your Ketogenic staples in one awesome delicious dish.



Note: I used my food processor to mash the cauliflower instead of a hand mixer. Using a hand mixer will give you a "chunkier" cauliflower mash instead of the smooth consistency the food processor gives. I personally prefer to use a hand mixer but I don't currently own one. Whether you use a hand mixer or food processor, both will still give you a delicious dish, it's just a matter of preference in regards to the consistency of the cauliflower.


We had Italian Sausage and Spicy Cabbage with the Twice Baked Cauliflower making a great meal!
