Loaded Mashed Cauliflower

Creamy cauliflower with sour cream, cheese and bacon.

I made this yesterday instead of mashed potatoes. I was sure when I made it I was going to regret not making the potatoes to go with the chicken roulades I made. Much to my surprise I didn’t miss the potatoes at all. This is a tasty side dish that I will be making again.
It is no where close to the texture of mashed potatoes so don’t be expecting that. When I mashed it I left the cauliflower a little chunky, but small chunky. If I’d of had some chives or green onions that would of been the only thing I would of added. This side dish is a keeper!
