This Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole is another favorite of mine, and I’m telling you I make this at least once a week. If you love mashed potatoes with the works, you are going to love this (without hurting your waistline!). Gotta fit into those skinny jeans right? Well even if you don’t care about how many starches you are pounding, this is super tasty. Super tasty. I love to serve this with burgers, and yeah, I don’t usually eat the bun either. I found this on a keto-friendly post, and I’ve made it so many times that I made it my own by adding a few different ingredients. Helps to have a good grater, I need to get one of those ASAP because I keep gashing my thumb on the tabletop cheese grater, pictured. However, the stand alone grater has a nifty container to catch the cheese so you can measure it. Or so you don’t get it all over the kitchen counter/floor. Also, this glass Pyrex pan comes with a handy lid, which is perfect for grabbing it out of the fridge to get another bowl of this stuff.
Cauliflower is the new craze apparently, and as much as I have read about cauliflower crust pizzas I’m here to tell you that this is a whole lot easier to make and just as satisfying. All of the starch in those “fake” pizzas really add up. Just look at the back of the boxes and you will see how many carbs you are really ingesting. But I digress, as usual.
I hope you try this recipe and share your thoughts too! How did you make it your own and what did you pair it with? If you are like me this is dinner many, many nights. All by itself. You got your veggies, your bacon (I mean meat), your cheese…what more could one want? Ok you probably want a burger to go with it too…or pork chops. Or stuffed chicken breasts. Those recipes are coming…blah blah let’s get to the recipe!
