Ingredients
  • 1 large head of Cauliflower (or whatever you have on hand)*
  • 1 head of Broccoli (or whatever you have on hand)*
  • 6 to 8 strips of Bacon cooked, drained, and crumbled
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced thin
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter or vegetable oil

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  3. Place cauliflower in a microwaveable baking dish, add ½" water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 5 to 7 minutes or until cauliflower is tender-crisp. Remove from water and cut into small chunks.
  4. Do the same with broccoli, drain, cut into bite-size pieces.
  5. In a medium bowl combine bacon, onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheese, cauliflower and broccoli. Mix well.
  6. Pour mixture into 9"x13" (or round) baking dish. Top with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Notes
* Cauliflower and broccoli should equal about 6 to 7 cups. If you have more or less just adjust other ingredients up or down.
Onions are optional.
Sliced mushrooms or sliced jalapeno peppers would be a good addition.
