How to make skillet cauliflower bake

Ingredients:

4 cups cauliflower, chopped
4 slices of bacon
1/4 cup onion, diced
Salt and pepper, to taste
3/4 cup whole milk
1-2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

Pro tip: Prepare as much of this dish at home, before going camping. I like to have the cauliflower already washed, chopped and stored in a freezer bag.

You could also cook up the bacon beforehand and simply mix and reheat the ingredients while camping. This makes preparing this delicious meal while camping even easier!

Directions:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon to your desired preference.

Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Add the diced onions and cauliflower to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until onions are translucent and cauliflower browned.

Stir occasionally.

In a medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch and milk.

Stir the milk mixture into the cauliflower.

Heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle both cheeses and the bacon onto the cauliflower.

Cover in tinfoil and place in the campfire coals for 8-10 minutes or put into a 350 degree F oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.

Bake until cheeses are melted.

Serve warm.

A frying pan or oven safe dish works to make this recipe as well. You could even wrap the cauliflower in aluminum foil, creating a foil packet meal that would be delicious!

This recipe makes four servings and can easily be doubled for a larger crowd. Serve with sour cream and fresh parsley.
