Hidden Cauliflower Bacon Mac and Cheese

I don’t know about you but my 5 year old isn’t a vegetable fan. I created this recipe on a whim and it’s oh so good! The Smokey bacon holds up well against the refreshing lighter cauliflower which you just don’t taste, then the Mac n cheese itself is the perfect middle ground to take on that flavour.

Step 1

Add the bacon to a frying pan with a splash of oil and fry on a medium heat. Continue frying the bacon past the stage where it releases water, allowing it to caramelise and turn brown. Once the moisture starts to evaporate, add the butter to speed the process along. This takes around 10 minutes.
