Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped, or more to taste
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
½ onion, finely chopped
½ pound bacon
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Place potatoes and cauliflower into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but firm, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes and cauliflower to the prepared casserole dish.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cooked onion to the potato mixture.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and crumble over potato mixture, reserving bacon grease in skillet.
  • Melt butter into bacon grease in skillet over medium-low heat; whisk flour into butter-bacon grease mixture. Gradually stir cream into flour mixture until smooth; add milk if cream sauce is too thick. Whisk half the Swiss cheese, half the mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into cream sauce until cheeses are melted.
  • Pour cream sauce over potato mixture and toss to coat; top with remaining Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and cheese is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Overall, I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This recipe is a little too cheesy for my taste.

I'm allergic to cauliflower. Is there anything I can substitute it with?

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.
