Cut up cauliflower and green beans and microwave in a tablespoon of water for 8 minutes to partially cook then season with salt and pepper.

In a greased large casserole dish combine cauliflower, green beans, green onions, butter, bacon and cheddar cheese. Pour cream over top and place dish in oven. If dish is very full, put a cookie sheet under it to prevent bubble-over in oven.

Cook bacon in large non-stick skillet till almost crisp.
Remove to a paper towel covered plate and drain.

Reserve two tablespoons of Bacon grease, and fry the cauliflower in it, till beginning to brown. Add the rest of the ingredients, except cheese.
Dice the bacon into fifths, and add to the cauliflower.
Continue cooking till browned and a bit crisp, but not burnt. Add cheese, let sit, then fold everything over on itself, serve.

Nice with an extra sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese over the top.

I served this with scrambled eggs
