Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 3 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a large pan. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually add in the milk, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then bring the milk mixture to a simmer.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese.
  • Add the cauliflower to the cheese sauce and toss to coat. Stir in the bacon and green onions.
  • Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining cup of cheddar cheese.
