First, heat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Then add butter, cream cheese, and sour cream to a saucepan. Heat ingredients over medium heat, stirring continuously until cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Now add the heavy cream stirring until thoroughly combined. Add the spices and stir.
Next, add the shredded cheese, and stir until completely melted and well combined. Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Lastly, add your cauliflower, diced Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken, and crumbled bacon to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.
