Although the picture is horrible this recipe is
delicious and super rich. It seemed to take forever to cool down. I am pretty
sure we all ended up with third degree burns on our tongues. Once it cooled
down it was heaven on earth. It’s very much like a potatoes casserole.
You have
all of the same ingredients just cauliflower instead of potatoes which helps to
lower the calories of the casserole. I actually only made a half recipe because
the whole recipe was way too much for use to eat. I could have gotten away with
an entire recipe because we had none left by the end of dinner.
Ingredients:
- 1 lbs. cauliflower florets
- 4 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

- While cauliflower steams, cream together 6 oz. of the shredded cheddar, 6 oz. of the Monterey Jack, cream cheese, and heavy cream.
- Stir in sliced green onions, chopped bacon, and garlic.
- Set aside.
