Just Like Stuffed Baked Potatoes (No, really...JUST like 'em!)

[tiff111]

First of all, a huge thanks to our goddess Linda who keeps our bellies full with yummy recipes that jive with our WOE.

I've tried "cauliflower mashed potatoes" before and was thoroughly disgusted. On a whim, I tried Linda's Just Like Stuffed Baked Potatoes recipe. I'm SO glad I did!

I urge all of you to try it because it REALLY IS THAT GOOD!!

JUST LIKE STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
16 ounce package frozen cauliflower *
8 ounce cream cheese, softened
8 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pieces bacon, chopped and fried until crisp
Paprika, optional

Cook the cauliflower until soft, about 8-10 minutes; drain very well and break up florets a bit with a spoon (it's also very good if the cauliflower is still a little chunky). Put in a greased 8 x 8" baking pan or 2-quart casserole. Mix in the cream cheese, cheddar, green onion, salt, pepper and bacon. Dust top with paprika, if desired. Bake at 350º for 20-40 minutes, until browned and bubbly. Or, microwave, loosely covered, for about 40 minutes on 50% power, turning dish after 20 minutes.

I've made something very similar to this and took it to a family dinner. It was really tasty.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Reyna -- make sure you mash up the cauliflower well. I don't like big pieces of soft cauliflower. (Raw cauliflower is another thing.)

I just ate a little plate of it for lunch as I was typing this. I put a teeny little drop of sour cream on top. Yum!

Don't worry, if you make it and you don't like it, just give me a call. I'll be over at 5. (Just like the On-Cor frozen food guy. Remember him?)

I'm on my way!
