     We really enjoyed this! It did taste like cauliflower though... which is fine b/c we like cauliflower! I don't agree with the description that says you'll never believe it doesn't have potatoes... definitely no potatoes, but still VERY VERY yummy! Will definitely make it again and again! - 8/24/09

     Delicious! I make mashed cauliflower all the time, but this was way better! I substituted diced ham for the bacon and served it as a main dish, and my family loved it! - 3/4/09

     Instead of using frozen cauliflower, I used a head of fresh cauliflower, cut it up into pieces, boiled it, and mashed it. I also used the Morningstar faux bacon. The casserole was delicious. My husband also really enjoyed it! It reheats well too! - 8/21/08

     This was the first time I had cauliflower and it was V ERY GOOD. I have a passion for potatoes, so I could tell the difference between this and potatoes. That's OK. Cauliflower is MUCH better for me. I had to substitute alot because I didn't have everything. I wasn't prepared. Still, GREAT - 1/2/11

     Excellent! I subbed out the turkey bacon for Morningstar faux bacon (to make it vegetarian) and subbed the cream cheese for FF sour cream and it tasted like sour cream and onion potato chips! I would sooooo make this again! A huge hit at our Thanksgiving table! - 11/22/07

     This dish fooled a few at my Christmas dinner - some who say they do not like cauliflower. I make this dish often because it tastes fabulous - just like a twiced-baked potato. I only use 3 slices of the turkey bacon, not the whole pound. I recommend this to everyone - give it a try. - 1/25/11

     Very good. I couldn't stop eating it. My husband is NOT a fan of cauliflower, so I wondered how he would feel about it. He loved it. My kids didn't even know that it wasn't potatoes. This will be a regular side in our house. - 6/14/12

     This is pretty high calorie for the amount you get, but with that said I have to tell you it is simply DELICIOUS!!! I don't mind the extra calories for one day to indulge in this dish. I didn't taste the cauliflower AT ALL! I had my kid try it (she doesn't like cauliflower) and she loved it!! - 3/16/12

     This is one of our favorite recipe's. We started making it about a year ago when we were following a low carb diet. It is on our Thanksgiving menu this year. Love it! - 11/22/10

     My brother didn't like it, my boyfriend thought it was really good, my mom and i thought it was ok... - 3/7/10

     I also used sour cream and made it vegetarian by using morningstar faux bacon. My whole family loved it! - 1/16/08

     There's absolutely NO reason to add 2 T water just to microwave frozen cauliflower to make this dish. Frozen vegetables have more than enough water for microwave cooking. Fresh cauliflower is 75% water -- plenty of water content to microwave/cook the cauliflower. - 11/25/14

     My only issue was to stop eating it!!! - 1/30/13

     Really tasty! We made this at Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I highly recommend using less bacon, though - I didn't even have a whole pound, and it was too much. Delicious, though! - 11/27/12
  • ATIFFCCDDC
     This was a really good recipe! I made it how the recipe appears. Next time I am going to only use a half a lb of the turkey bacon. I also think it may be even better with ham diced up in it like another post recommended. I did use reduced fat cheddar. - 11/18/12

     I love this recipe! My whole family loves this, I use ham instead of bacon, and also use this as a main dish...Definitely worth checking out! - 11/9/12
  • NATROSE000
     No, it's not quite like potatoes, but it is cheesy, yummy, wonderfulnss! I highly recommend it! - 1/10/11
  • BROOKEZ47
     I definitely enjoyed this! However I substituted green onion with a white onion. I'll definately won't do that again... it was too much! - 5/28/09

     This was very tasty & easy to make. I made it for a Thanksgiving Potluck & everyone Loved it! - 11/19/07

     This is an old recipe, if a person likes cauliflower, don’t be afraid to say this is whipped up cauliflower, for heavens sakes. Admit that vegetables don’t taste very good to many people so they must be doctored up with cheese and bacon. It is the truth. - 11/30/14
  • DEDRAD
     Not like potatoes, but it comes close. Well worth the trade off on the carb side. I did cut the cheese to only 4 oz. and used half a pound of the bacon. Yummy stuff. - 6/27/14
  • CD13466211
     Very good. A big weakness of mine is potatoes, this will for sure make up for that! (although, you can totally tell it's cauliflower, my boys weren't so sure about it, but they did eat it) Good sub for me while they eat their potatoes, nice and easy to get some frozen cauliflower and it my way! - 2/20/13
  • ALLEYCAT_
     Delicious! My husband and daughter and I all liked it! - 2/7/13
  • TO-BEE
     This is a great idea, think about substituting plain greek yogurt in place of the cream cheese. - 1/19/13
