Completing Defining a function that completes the square ofgiven a quadratic polynomial expression

How can I write a function that would complete the square in a quadratic polynomial expression such that, for example,

In[1]:= CompleteTheSquare[5 x^2 + 27 x - 5, x]

Out[1]= -(829/20) + 5 (27/10 + x)^2

? evaluates to

-(829/20) + 5 (27/10 + x)^2
