Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and discard the tough stem.
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the cauliflower florets. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
  3. Drain the cauliflower and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
  4. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the cauliflower until it reaches your desired consistency. It should resemble mashed potatoes.
  5. In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and crumble it into small pieces.
  6. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mashed cauliflower, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  7. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon to the cauliflower mixture. Mix well until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  9. Transfer the Keto Cauliflower Bacon Cheese Mash to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
