How To Make loaded cauliflower (mac) and cheese

Step 1

Cheese Sauce: In nonstick pan, combine cream cheese, butter, milk, water, salt and white pepper. Whisk occasionally. Stir in Cheddar cheese until it melts and sauce is smooth. Add extra water if necessary 1 tablespoon at a time. ***Cheese sauce can be poured over cooked broccoli or cauliflower for a side dish. You can double the recipe very easily.

Step 2

Chop Cauliflower into smaller pieces, but not too small. In large bowl, combine cauliflower and Cheese Sauce. Place mixture in 2 qt. shallow casserole dish.
Step 3

Topping: In small bowl combine 2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese, bacon and parsley. Sprinkle over the top of the cauliflower.
Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes or until slightly browned and bubbly. You could put the casserole under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown the cauliflower a little more.
