Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole is insanely delicious and what’s even better? its low carb & keto friendly!

Can I do anything to save some calories?

You can use just milk if you want to save calories or use half and half instead of whole milk and heavy cream.

What type of cheese should I use?

Use your favorite nice melting cheese, in my experience almost every cheese fits nicely with this dish.

Cooking Tip

 Don´t leave the white sauce alone. It burns very fast, will taste awful and you can´t rescue it.

Variations, how to switch up

You can play around with all different vegetables or use part potatoes too.
Leftover ham or even rotisserie chicken is great in this dish and makes it a whole meal.

What can I add to it to give it a kick?

Spice it up by using a bit of curry powder or cayenne pepper.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Sure, just prepare everything, keep it covered in your fridge and bake when ready to eat.

Can I make more than the 4 servings?

Yes, just double the ingredients and use a bigger pan.

Bacon is another wonderful addition to this dish as well and gives it a wonderful added flavor! 

 This one is such a delicious side dish everyone always loves! All the flavor of cheesy mashed potatoes without all the carbs!
