Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower riced finely
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ⅓ cup chopped bacon pieces
Instructions
- Add the butter to a saucepan over medium high heat on the stove.
- Place the cauliflower and heavy whipping cream into the saucepan.
- Cover and simmer until the cauliflower grits are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese and bacon. Stir well until the cheese is melted, then serve.
Notes
Use a food processor. Add cauliflower florets to the food processor and let it rice the cauliflower for you.
Pre-make the bacon. Let the slices cool completely after cooking, then chop them up into small pieces.
Remove moisture from the cauliflower rice. Place the riced cauliflower in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture and water as you can.
