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:
- For a creamy casserole, use a combination of milk and heavy cream. Creamy soups, such as condensed cream of mushroom or cream of celery, can also be used to add extra richness.
- To make the casserole cheesy, add shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan. Using a combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle the casserole with bread crumbs, Panko crumbs, or crushed potato chips before baking. This will give the casserole a nice crust.
- To add more flavor to the casserole, add some chopped vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or zucchini. You can also add cooked chicken, beef, or sausage.
- Be sure to season the casserole well with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and bubbly. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the casserole and the ingredients used.

Potato and cauliflower casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, cheesy, and crunchy texture, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
