Cauliflower Cheese with Bacon
Report
Cauliflower Cheese with Bacon, a classic side dish with a twist. The cauliflower is baked in a delicious white sauce with bacon until golden and bubbling hot. A winner with the whole family, this is a recipe for every occasion. My bacon cauliflower cheese makes a great side dish for a special occasion too, and makes the best accompaniment to any roast.
