Loaded Cauliflower Bake

I love roasted veggies and when I saw this on Emily Bites this past week, I knew I was going to make it at some point.  This kind of reminds me of a twice baked potato but with less carbs.  Perfect for my weeknight dinners this week!

Set aside on a paper towel to dry & crumble.

Steam cauliflower. (I did it in the microwave.)

While cauliflower is steaming, combine cream cheese & sour cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer.

Stir until well combined.

When cauliflower is finished steaming, drain & place in baking dish.

Pour cream cheese mixture over and stir until well combined.
