Among my children hates cauliflower with a passion. That is a shame as it is a healthy vegetable, along with my family I really like it. It is such a fantastic, flexible vegetable for anybody about the keto or very low carbohydrate diets.
But this casserole is magic! It is the only way she will agree to eat cauliflower. I suppose the bacon and cheese make it more tolerable. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down should be authentic for bacon and cheese too!
