CAULIFLOWER AND NOODLES BAKED POTATO ON THE SIDE RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix together hash browns, cauliflower, 1 cup cheese, onion and bell pepper in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together 1½ cups dressing and sour cream. Pour over potato mixture; mix well. Transfer potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Mix together remaining 1 cup cheese, ¼ cup dressing and bread crumbs. Sprinkle on top of casserole. Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes, until browned, bubbly and cauliflower is tender. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Place the bacon slices flat in the pot and cook, turning a couple times, until crispy and most of the fat has drained from the bacon, 8 to 12 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the bacon to a paper towel?lined plate, leaving the fat in the pot. 2. Add the onions, 2 teaspoons salt and ?1 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and soft, 10 to? 12 minutes. 3. Stir in the potatoes, cauliflower and stock, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a strong simmer and cook, stirring here and there, until the potatoes are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. 4. Pur?e the soup, using a blender in batches or a handheld immersion blender. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if you like. Slice or tear the cooked bacon into bite-size pieces and sprinkle it over bowls of the soup. Serve topped with sour cream, chives and cheese.
