List of Ingredients
1-head of Cauliflower (Approximately 2 pounds)
1/2 cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/2 stick of soft butter
2 fresh mushrooms diced
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of Romano cheese
6-slices of cooked and crumbled bacon
2 tablespoons of bacon grease
Topping:
Shredded Cheddar
2 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon on top
Recipe
Boil cauliflower approximately 20 to 30 minutes until tender, drain well. Fry bacon until crisp and then crumble it. Save the grease. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, cream cheese, 1/2 of the butter, salt, pepper, Romano cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup minced green onions, 2 fresh mushrooms diced, bacon grease and the bacon bits. Mash it all together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I mash it in my Kitchen Aid Mixer.
Put it in a buttered 8 X 8 casserole dish. Cover with the cheddar cheese. Top it off with the bacon pieces. And cut up small pieces of remaining butter and scatter it on top lightly.
Place in a preheated 350° oven and bake until all the cheese has melted. Approximately 20 minutes. Garnish with chives if desired.

* Deb’s notes: I use 2 heads of cauliflower. When it’s done cooking, I use my Oxo ricer. First, I squeeze the water out of the cauliflower in the ricer, then I rice it into a bowl. I didn’t have any fresh mushrooms, so I omitted them. I also omitted the bacon grease addition. I had some chopped, cooked bacon on hand - so I put this in a mini food processor and made my own ‘crumbs’ - worked great. This was delicious! (and believe me - this was not “9” servings - oink!)
