Directions

One head of cauliflower steamed for 15 minutes and drained. (I used a large head). Then return to pot to get rid of all excess water. Cook for about 1-3 minutes more.

In a bowl with electric beaters, add the following ingredients (you can use a food processor too for a finer texture)

Puree all together. (Keeping some cheese, onions and bacon bits for the top.)

Place in oiled or (Pam sprayed) baking dish and top with more cheese and bacon bits. Bake 350 degree for at least 30-40 minutes or more. Til bubbley and golden on top.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Reheats well and lasts a few days in the fridge.
