- 4 cups cauliflower
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch + 1 tsp.
- 1 cup low-fat milk 1%
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 8 turkey bacon strips cooked, crumbled, divided use
- ¼ cup green onions approx. 1⁄4 bunch, sliced
- ¼ tsp. sea salt or Himalayan salt ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp. black pepper

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Coat an 81⁄2-inch x 81⁄2-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
Steam or blanch cauliflower for 3 minutes; drain thoroughly. Set aside.
In a medium bowl mix together cheese and cornstarch. Set aside.
Place milk and garlic in a large nonstick skillet and bring to a low simmer over medium heat, about 3 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and whisk in cheese mixture a small handful at a time, stirring constantly, until cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
Add cauliflower, 3⁄4 crumbled bacon, green onions, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Carefully pour mixture into prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining 1⁄4 crumbled bacon and bake for 30 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender and top of casserole has slightly browned.
