Cheddar bacon cauliflower mash

I planned to make mashed cauliflower last week and it turned into leftover night. I'll never complain about leftover night because there isn't anything more easy. I forgot about the two heads of cauliflower in the crisper drawer though. Does anyone else hate those drawers? I forget about food in them all the time. Is there a real purpose to them? Maybe this is just a me problem. The cauliflower had definitely seen better days but I hate throwing food out. I shaved a ton of questionable areas off and went with it.

I kind of threw this recipe together on the spot with anything that made sense and sounded yummy at the time and now my new favorite. Scot had a bite while he was waiting for the pork tenderloin to finish. And completely unsolicited said "Wow. That is better than some real mashed potatoes I've had." I take that as one of the highest compliments because potatoes might actually be my favorite foods. I could probably live on them alone if there were no repercussions. But I do need to watch my starchy carbs- so tonight, cauliflower it is. Seriously though- they were excellent. And I cooked both heads- so I can happily eat leftovers for lunch the next few days.
