This recipe for Low Carb Cauliflower Casserole is a nice alternative to the usual casserole.
Because we use cauliflower rather than pasta, we can make this casserole lower in carbs than the typical casserole.
Low Carb Cauliflower Casserole
This is actually a filling dish to eat.
I like that the vegetables are already in it and thus, I do not have to add any on the side.
Even thought cauliflower is not carb-free, we can still make this casserole lower in carbs.
The average head of cauliflower has an average of 17 net grams in it. Because there are eight servings in this casserole, each serving has an average of just over 2 carbs in it. Not bad for a casserole if you ask me!
To give this casserole some crunch, you do have several options.
The first option is to use precooked bacon such as one of these. You could also use pork rinds. However, folks who do not eat pork can use a low carb cereal or low carb breadcrumbs.

I make this however I precook the cauliflower to half cooked.
I also have cooked cauliflower and mashed it like potato and made casserole.
I have topped the dish with pork rinds for a nice crunch.
