Como fazer Grandma's Cauliflower

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes). Drain very well and set aside.
While cauliflower cooks, cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, crumble, and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
In the same pan, add the reserved bacon grease, sugar, and mayonnaise. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and nearly translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the crumbled bacon and cooked cauliflower to the pan. Gently toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
