    💡

    Pro tip: Don't overcook - you want some bite left.

  2. While cauliflower steams, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and stir until melted.

  3. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add garlic powder and mustard powder.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1.5 cups cheddar and all the parmesan until smooth and creamy.

  5. Drain cauliflower well and place in a baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over top and stir to coat.

  6. Top with remaining cheddar. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  7. Add bacon bits if desired and serve hot.
