This is an approved Phase 2 VLC (very low calorie) food. When you add Parmesan cheese it becomes a maintenance food.

Mock Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

• 16oz bag of frozen cauliflower
• 2 tbsp. I can't Believe its Not Butter
• 4 oz (half a package) of low fat cream cheese
• 1 lb bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled ( turkey bacon is best but not necessary)
• 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp. chopped green onions
• 2 tbsp. water

Instructions:

Microwave cauliflower w/2 tbsp. water for 10-15 minutes; until very soft. Drain, then mash with a potato masher.

( If you have a food processor, I mix all the ingredients that way)

Blend in butter and cream cheese. Add most of the sharp cheese saving out 1/2 cup for the topping. Stir in bacon and green onions. Put in casserole dish and top with remaining sharp cheese.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until browned and bubbly!

Makes 8 servings.  

This is a wonderful dish that can be eaten as a side for a couple days. :)
