Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    8.70 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 1 1/4 cups; sufficient as a smaller main meal; or enjoy 1/2 serving as a side
  2. Temperature: 370 °F
  1. Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam it in some salted water until it has the desired tenderness, about 10 minutes.
  2. Chop the bacon and fry it in a pan over medium-high heat until crispy.
  3. Mix together the sour cream, mayo and ranch seasoning in a large bowl. Season to taste.
  4. Drain the cauliflower and let it steam out, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cauliflower, half the bacon, the shredded cheddar and half the chopped chives to the bowl.
  6. Transfer everything to an oven-safe dish. You can also use a 13 in by 9 in casserole for 8 servings.
  7. Sprinkle with the shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese and the remaining bacon. If you prefer, you can instead top it with more cheddar or a different kind of cheese.
  8. Bake until the cheese has melted and browned, about 20 minutes.
  9. Enjoy sprinkled with about 1/2 teaspoon of fresh chives per serving.

  10. Meal Prep Tip

  11. You can store the dish in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.
