Yield: 7 Servings
Ingredients: 1 large head cauliflower cut into small bites 8 ounces cream cheese softened 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese I use a cheddar blend 1/2 cup heavy cream 5 strips of uncured bacon cooked and crumbled (bacon grease reserved) And so on.
Instructions:
First of all. Add the cauliflower florets to a microwave save bowl with a plate (or paper plate) on top Microwave for 7-8 minutes or until slightly tender (or your desired texture). You can steam it instead, if you don’t have or want to use a microwave, but I would not boil it, it might be too watery.
Next step is, While the cauliflower is cooking, heat a sauce pan over medium. Add in the butter and bacon grease, then sauté the jalapeño peppers until tender, should take just about 2-3 minutes. Add in the cream cheese and stir until melted. Add the remaining ingredients and still until well combined and all the cheese has melted.
Step 03, Add in 1-2 tablespoons of hot water if needed, to reach your desired consistency. I added in 1 tablespoon, to thin it out a tiny bit. I purposely made this sauce on the thicker side, because I cannot stand when a "mac & cheese" type sauce is too thin and just drips off the cauliflower. I prefer each piece to be coated nicely in the sauce, and why wouldn't you!? The sauce is fantastic!
