Baked Loaded Cauliflower Casserole
This creamy loaded cauliflower bake is an easy dish that’s filling enough to be a main dish or served as a side with chicken, beef, or turkey.

- 1 ½ c shredded Italian cheese blend
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. You can move one of the racks to the top to help speed up the melting and browning process.
