=======================================
Chef Tips---If you can’t find fresh cauliflower, use frozen. Steam as per package
(You won’t need to simmer it, just stir in and blend it).
You can leave it a bit chunky, maybe add in diced cooked potatoes for heartiness.
Try parmesan or asiago instead of pepper jack. Sharp white cheddar is also great.
Top with even more cheese, bacon crumbles, croutons, and green onions.
