This is a recipe I modified slightly from a recipe from Food Network, a TV station that rarely airs real cooking shows anymore. They don't have the cooking shows like they used to. It's all about food competition shows and all that crap.
Anyway, here's what I made for supper last night.
Ingredients
2 heads of cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 package of center cut bacon
1 package of cream cheese (brought to room temperature)
2 cups of shredded cheddar (I used a mixture of sharp and mild)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
4 green onions, finely chopped
Sour cream
Salt and pepper
Process
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Using a sheet pain with a wire rack, lay out the bacon and bake for however long it takes for the bacon to be crisp. As that is baking, cut up the cauliflower, add salt and pepper, and place into a large casserole dish.
Take the bacon out and remove it to cool. Using a soup spoon, ladle the bacon grease into the cauliflower. Place the dish into the oven and roast the cauliflower for roughly 25 minutes.
Cut up the room temperature cream cheese into a large bowl and add 1 cup of the cheddar and minced garlic. Mix this as thoroughly as possible. Once the cauliflower is roasted, dollop the cream cheese/cheddar mixture throughout the cauliflower and top the mixture with the remaining cup of cheddar.
Bake it for approximately 10 more minutes and top with the bacon and green onions. Add spoonfuls of sour cream evenly throughout the casserole dish. Place back into the oven for a couple of minutes and then bring it back out and serve.
