CHEESY CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND BACON CASSEROLE
A nice twist to a classic. Layered and baked until golden brown. A great side dish for any meal. I prefer a grilled steak or some roasted chicken, but this is so good and creamy. Originated as a recipe I developed for a restaurant I worked for, this has been a long standing favorite of friends and family. Give it a try and I am sure you will enjoy.

Steps:
- Potato and Cauliflower Layer -- In a large pot of boiling salted water on medium high heat, cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes and then add the cauliflower and cook another 5 minutes under tender. Remove from the heat and drain. Using a potato masher or even just a fork, slightly mash. I like to do a rough mash for this dish. Add, salt, pepper, milk and butter and set to the side.
- Bacon, Pepper and Onion Layer -- In a medium saute pan, add the bacon and saute until crisp. Remove and let it drain on a paper plate lined with a paper towel. In the same pan, use the bacon drippings (no more than 1 teaspoon, you don't want too much oil) to cook the onion and red pepper red pepper until tender. Once the onion and pepper are done add the scallions, salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat, drain if necessary (you don't want this oily) and set to the side.
- Cheese and Crumb Mixture -- In a small bowl, add the melted butter, bread crumbs and cheese and mix well to combine.
- Casserole -- In a casserole dish, spray with non stick spray and heat the oven to 375. Add a layer on the potato cauliflower mix; then a layer of the bacon, pepper and onions; then a layer of the cheese and bread crumb mix. Next, again, the potato cauliflower; bacon, pepper and onions; and then the cheese and bread crumbs.
- Bake -- Thirty (30) minutes until golden brown and bubbly. This is a great side dish and makes a great presentation when you cut into it and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes and parsnips in a pot and cover with water. Salt the water, bring to a boil and cook to tender. Drain and return the vegetables to the hot pot. Mash with the cream cheese, milk, chives, horseradish, some salt and pepper and the egg. Cover and reserve in the pot.
- Put a pot on the stove with 1/4 inch of water and bring to a boil. Remove the stem of the head of cauliflower and set it into the pot. Scatter the trimmed broccolini around and season with salt. Cover and cook to tender. Break the cauliflower into florets and drain. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet, arrange the bread on it and toast in the oven. Coarsely chop the bread, add it to a food processor and process into coarse breadcrumbs. Melt the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Pour half of the butter over the crumbs to moisten them.
- To the remaining butter, add the garlic and gently cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the hot sauce and mustard and stir to combine. Sprinkle in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the beer, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and cook the beer out for 30 seconds. Add the stock, bring to a bubble and thicken a minute more. Stir in the cheese in a figure-eight motion and season with salt and pepper.
- Grease a casserole dish. Layer the potatoes and parsnips, cauliflower and broccolini, cheese sauce and breadcrumbs in the dish. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, or bake to serve. Bake at 375 degrees F from room temperature until bubbly and golden brown, about 50 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped tomatoes and watercress and serve
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for this casserole because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Cut the potatoes and cauliflower into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the casserole a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the casserole.
- Season the casserole well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Top the casserole with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers: This will give it a crispy, golden-brown crust.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Potato and cauliflower casserole is a delicious, comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
