Try this delicious cauliflower casserole. It is baked with cheese and bacon. A small amount of xanthan gum will help to thicken the cheese sauce. This recipe kept the small cauliflower florets whole because we like the crunchy texture. However, if you are craving something like a baked potato, you can boil the cauliflower until soft, mash it, and top it with cheese, bacon, butter, or green onions… you could even add some sour cream!
