Make It Now Cooking Directions
These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.
- Working in batches, chop cauliflower in food processor until a rice like consistency is achieved.
- In a large saucepan saute onion in bacon fat until tender and translucent.
- Add the cauliflower, stirring to combine. Saute about 5 minutes, stirring.
- Next add chicken broth #1, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper and coconut flour.
- Cover and simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a "grits-like" consistency is formed. If too thick add a splash of chicken broth, if too thin add additional coconut flour, 1 TBLS at a time.
- Transfer mixture to a casserole dish.
- Cool for 20 minutes.
- Whisk eggs together and stir into cauliflower mixture.
- Top with crumbled bacon and red pepper.
- In a cold saucepan whisk together tapioca starch, chicken broth #2, coconut milk and creole seasoning.
- Bring to medium heating, whisking constantly to prevent sticking and lumps.
- Cook until mixture is thick and creamy.
- Pour sauce evenly over cauliflower mixture.
- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes until bubbly.
