Instructions to make Cheesy Cauliflower KickAsserole 🧀:
  1. First, clean and cut your cauliflower. Keep the pieces sort of big, as this adds consistency to the dish. Add these to your steamer but do not start steaming yet.
  2. Next, shred all of your cheeses onto a plate. The better quality cheeses you use, the better this dish is. I used mostly white cheeses and a couple cups of sharp cheddar.
  3. Warm cream cheese slightly in the microwave to soften (30 seconds or so) and add to a large mixing bowl.
  4. Next add the garlic, sour cream, mayo, green onions, and almost all of the shredded cheese (reserve some cheese to top with)
  5. Add parmesan cheese
  6. Mix this well, adding small amounts of the heavy whipping cream. You want a creamy mixture.
  7. Now start to steam your cauliflower. Just a little water in a pot on boil. Once boiling, reduce to simmer and cover ab 5 minutes or until cauliflower is slightly soft, tender but still a little firm. You want it to hold up for texture in the oven, so a little firm is good.
  8. While the cauliflower is steaming, start cooking your bacon. You will need 9 strips. I made mine on the crunchy side since it will get softer during the bake time.
  9. Shroomies 🍄
  10. Chop the mushrooms while the bacon is cooking. Chop them small so that it's basically undectable once the casserole is finished. Mushrooms serve to add more texture & consistency while adding a touch of richness in flavor.
  11. Pre heat your oven to 350°F.
  12. The cauliflower should finish before the bacon. When it's done, drain 3/4 of the water out, then dump the cheese mixture in the pot with the cauliflower, add cracked black pepper & cayenne (If u want a kick), and mix around.
  13. Chop 8 strips of bacon into small crumbs and add with mushrooms into cheese & cauliflower mix.
  14. Mix everything well, using the spoon and even a knife to break down the larger cauliflower pieces. You want a chunky, creamy mixture. Now is the time to add more heavy cream if you think the mixture is sticky instead of creamy.
  15. When everything is mixed well, add to casserole dish and pack down.
  16. Take your last strip of bacon and cut coarsely - add on top along with the reserved shredded cheese & paprika.
  17. Bake uncovered in the oven on 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is slightly browned.
  18. I used fresh green beans for a side and made this a complete meal. SO GOOD! 💖
