Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 half of a 2lb head of cauliflower
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese (aprox. 1/4 cup)
• 2 strips thick cut bacon
• 2 green onions - green part only
• 2 TBSP half & half
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions

• Cut cauliflower in half, reserving second half for another recipe.
• Trim stalk and remove leaves from the half you are using, then chop into large chunks.
• Peel the garlic.
• Place cauliflower and garlic in a medium pot. Add chicken stock, then cover with the lid. Place on a burner on high heat and bring to a boil.
• Once it boils reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until fork tender.
• While the cauliflower cooks, fry bacon in a skillet over medium heat flipping as needed. Once its done, place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
• Grate cheese, slice green onions, and chop bacon once it has cooled to the touch.
• When the cauliflower is done, drain it with a fine mesh sieve and return to the pot.
• Use a hand masher to mash the cauliflower to desired consistency.
• Stir in cheese, bacon, green onion, half & half, salt and pepper, mixing to combine thoroughly.
• Serve hot.
