Keto Loaded Cauliflower Casserole

What’s this?! We’ve got more keto recipes coming your way. Have you hopped on the keto train yet? It’s similar in some ways to Paleo (check out our Paleo 101) but is much more low carb and can include foods such as dairy.

The keto diet is booming in popularity right now. There are many reasons why this could be the case, but I think part of the reason is because people have seen huge success following it.

Weight loss, of course, is a benefit of this diet regime. But many people also report increased mental clarity and energy.

People also like that there is a little more flexibility in the diet than compared to paleo or AIP. This recipe might just show you why.

If you miss the comfort of a loaded baked potato, this low carb version is sure to be a big hit.

It’s got all the ingredients to hit the right notes: butter, cheese, bacon, chives, and sour cream. The only thing missing is the potato, but since that’s the most boring part anyway, cauliflower makes an excellent substitute.

Enjoy this with a juicy steak and asparagus for a steakhouse meal you don’t have to feel guilty about.
