Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 slices Bacon diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Shaved parmesan
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop the cauliflower into large florets and add to the bowl of a food processor. Process until you have rice sized chunks of cauliflower. Alternately, purchase a one pound package of riced cauliflower or chop the cauliflower by hand.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon to the skillet and fry until crisp, stirring often. Drain the grease.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the cauliflower rice and chicken broth and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook 5 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken broth has evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, parsley, and salt and pepper to coat. Let the Parmesan melt a bit and serve hot.

Notes
