Ingredients

  • 2 lbs cauliflower florets cut in bite-size pieces
  • 1 box (8 ounces of cream cheese softened)

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (reserve one tablespoon for the top)

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

    In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until creamy and smooth. Gently stir in cauliflower, 1/2 of the bacon, and chives. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
