I once again tried to get the Mr. to eat cauliflower…he ate what I put on his plate but he wasn’t gonna have another serving. Oh well! I tried :)
Cauliflower Mash
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 4oz low fat cream cheese
- 4 slices of center-cut bacon (cooked & crumbled)
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp butter (I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter)
- 1 tsp salt
- Ground pepper to taste
- ½ tsp of Dill weed
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and steam in about a ½ cup of water for 15 minutes on medium-high.
Then mash the cauliflower and mix in the butter, the cream cheese, panko bread crumbs, bacon crumbles, cheddar cheese, salt and some ground pepper (to taste). Then pour into the blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into a pie pan. Sprinkle with Dill weed and a light sprinkle of bread crumbs to give some golden color.
Bake for 15 minutes , then broil for 1 minute to toast the top up.
Mm…I was VERY happy with this meal! My brother in-law came over for dinner too and well, he ate what would have been leftovers so, I’d say it was a hit!
I hope you get the chance to make one of these. Delish!

It was fantastic.
The meatloaf was SO good. I couldn't even really tell that it wasn't beef. It was moist and wonderful.
The "mashed potatoes" were good. But I KNOW they're cauliflower, and I just can't hack it. There's something inherently wrong with the taste of cauliflower in my mouth. I don't like it.
However, I must say that the mash itself tasted awesome. Minus the cauliflower, I'd eat a whole pot of it.
I love you!
The Mr.
You have to try using oats in meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs even. It makes it SOO moist!
Aaron, don't read this: Leslie steam the cauliflower then puree it and add to meatloaf, all the other flavors will hide taste and everyone is happy!
:-) I also like to make meatloaf in muffin pans. Mini meatloaves are so easy! Take less time to bake too! And they freeze well!
@Michelle LOL! If he even SMELLED the cauliflower steaming he'd KNOW...LOL!
The mini-loaves are an EXCELLENT idea especially for freezing. Cool!
@Max02 I love you. Thanks for at last eating what I served you:)
@ Jason and Michelle,
I'm 'sorry, I read it. I had to. I must know what I'm eating. Especially if it's something as unappetizing as cauliflower.
I also like the mini-loafs idea. Very cool.
I agree with Michelle putting oats in your meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs. i did that before and it worked just as good as breadcrumbs PLUS you're getting the benefit of whole grain goodness in your food - that's a very good thing!! And the mini meatloaf is a very cute idea :) I made one before and used cupcake pans, it was really cute. Good job on the meatloaf and cauliflower, les!
Hey Leslie! Made the meat loaf last night and Sergio really liked it! Great recipe! Thanks.
Love,
Jenn
@Eme AWESOME! :D
