Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded jalapeno jack cheese
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp or 1 packet mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
• 1 head large cauliflower
• 3 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

Directions

1. Steam cauliflower until tender-crisp. Remove from heat. Preheat oven to 450 °F (220 °C).
2. In a medium baking dish, place steamed cauliflower. Break pieces apart and layer evenly in baking dish. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl place all remaining ingredients except for cooked bacon. Mix with spatula.
4. Add extra mayonnaise to make it spreadable. Spread mixture evenly over cauliflower. Sprinkle cooked bacon on top.
5. Bake 15-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and at desired crispiness. Serve warm.
