Loaded Cauliflower Au Gratin
Loaded Cauliflower Au Gratin
:Loaded Cauliflower Au Gratin is a delicious dish that takes cauliflower to a whole new level! It's a twist on the classic potatoes au gratin, but instead of potatoes, it uses cauliflower. The cauliflower is cooked until tender, then mixed with a creamy cheese sauce, topped with crispy bacon bits, green onions, and more cheese before being baked until golden and bubbly.
