Shameful cauliflower recipe...including bacon and lots of cheese! Not low-cal or particularly healthy, but in the spirit of wanting "more", then this dish fills the bill (and the belly!):

Creamy Cauliflower Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar

6-8 servings 45 min 20 min prep

8 slices bacon, chopped and fried crispy

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon fresh parsley

salt

2 large cauliflower heads

4 ounces cream cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon pepper
Mix bacon, 1/2 cup cheese, and parsley in small bowl. Set aside for topping. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add 1 tbsp salt and cauliflower, cook until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer half to cutting board and roughly chop. Melt cream cheese on low heat. Stir in heavy cream and remaining 2 1/2 cups of cheddar, cook until starts to melt. Off heat stir in sour cream, cauliflower, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Transfer to a 2 quart baking dish, sprinkle with topping, and bake until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
