Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower 1lb after trimmed
  • 32 ounces chicken broth or stock 4 cups
  • 2 tbsps salted butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon save a little bit to go on top after it's done
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsps sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Remove the stem of the cauliflower and discard. Then break, or cut, the cauliflower into chunks. Set it aside for a minute or so.
  • Pour the chicken broth or stock into a 5 1/2 quart pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and then add in the cauliflower. Cover and steam until tender but not soft. This step takes about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the cauliflower and place it into a bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the cauliflower until you get the desired consistency. If you prefer a smooth mash then either use a hand mixer or food processor to process until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the butter, sour cream, grated parmesan cheese, shredded cheese, cooked bacon crumbles, salt, and pepper into the cauliflower mash. Give it another taste for salt.
  • Spread the cauliflower mash into an 8 x 8 casserole dish, sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until hot and bubble on the sides. Top with extra bacon and green onions. Serve hot.
