Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 heads cauliflower (small heads, cut into florets)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (or could use light cream with whole milk for a more creamier taste)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 to 8 slices (6 to 9 ounces) bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 2 green onions, diced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until just fork-tender but not really soft, or you can steam on top of the oven, then hand-squeeze out any moisture.

  • TO MAKE THE CHEESE SAUCE

  • Step 2: In a large skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add flour and stir until golden, 2 minutes. Add milk and bring to a low simmer and add cream cheese, whisking until combined. Stir in 1 cup cheddar until melted and season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3: In a casserole dish, add drained cauliflower. Pour over cheese sauce and stir until combined. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon each cooked bacon and scallions until combined, then top with remaining cheddar, bacon, and scallions.

  • Step 4: Bake until cauliflower is tender and cheese is bubbly and thickened, 30 minutes.

  • Step 5: Let cool slightly, then serve.
