¾cupwhole milk
1-2Tablespoonscornstarch
1cupcheddar cheeseshredded
¼cupParmesan cheeseshredded
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a cast iron skillet (or any oven safe pan), cook the chopped bacon to your desired preference over medium heat.
Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
Wipe away or pour out most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tbsp for the next step.
Add the diced onions and cauliflower to the same pan used for the bacon and saute over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the onions are translucent and the cauliflower is browned (about 4-5 minutes).
Heat the milk in a microwave for 25 seconds, then whisk in the cornstarch slowly in small amounts.
Gently pour the warmed milk and cornstarch mixture into the cauliflower, stirring occasionally. Heat through for about 2 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle both cheeses and the bacon on top of the cauliflower mixture.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheeses are melted.
Let cool and then serve immediately. Best enjoyed warm.
