Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (or a vegetarian substitute)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 8-10 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

    Make the Creamy Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Blend well until smooth. Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the seasonings.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked cauliflower. Pour the creamy mixture over the cauliflower and gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon until well combined.

        Bake the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the loaded cauliflower mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

          Cook It Up: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese has melted to a golden perfection.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for a fresh crunch. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
