• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small florets

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces

• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for topping

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder (optional for additional flavor)

• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned with no added sugar, drained if using canned)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Steam the cauliflower florets until they are just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well and set aside.

3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream and cream cheese over medium heat. Stir until the cream cheese has melted. Add shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

4. Combine Cauliflower and Sauce: Add the steamed cauliflower to the cheese sauce, gently folding to coat the cauliflower pieces evenly with the sauce.

5. Add Bacon and Tomato: Fold in the crumbled bacon and diced tomatoes, mixing gently to distribute throughout the mixture.

6. Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top for a crispy cheese crust, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.

7. Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

This dish can be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
