Supreme Pizza Cauliflower Casserole

Posted on by

I’m back sorry I’ve been gone for a while.

One of the things I hate about being diabetic is not being able to eat the things I love. One of the things I love is pizza. The crust is so full of those bad carbs. I use to order pizza remove the topping and throw the crust away. I wanted a recipe that filled me up like the whole pizza use to do. I worked and worked to get the taste just right. I think I found it with this one. This recipe is so good but don’t take my word for it try it for yourself.

Ingredients

2 pkg frozen cauliflower (cook as directed on pkg)
½ cup plus 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated, divided
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
sea salt and black pepper, to taste
½ cup marinara sauce
¾ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1 cup chicken, (cooked and chopped)
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°
Chop cauliflower. In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, garlic, olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. Toss until ingredients are well combined and cauliflower is coated.
Line in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on the top rack for 30 minutes.
Transfer cauliflower back to mixing bowl. To the mixing bowl add ¼ cup marinara sauce and ¼ cup mozzarella cheese. Toss until ingredients are well combined and cauliflower is coated.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a 13×9 pan. Layer on remaining pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with chicken, bell peppers, and onions. Sprinkle remaining 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp Italian seasoning over top.
Reduce oven temperature to 350° and bake for 30 minutes.

Don’t let this word, cauliflower scare you. All my life the only way I have eaten cauliflower was with dip. I didn’t think of it any other way until now. A friend shared the recipe with me. I tested it,  and found it to be fantastic. So I am sharing it with you today.

Chicken and Broccoli Cheesy Casserole

 

I can remember my Mom saying, “Eat your broccoli”!  Broccoli is one of my favorites.  Whether its steamed, stir fried, baked or boiled.  I wanted to try and make a casserole so here is what I came up with. My kids even ate it.

  8. 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  9. 1/4 c sour cream
  10. 1 cup ricotta
Instructions

In a medium bowl mix the chicken chunks, garlic powder, sour cream and ricotta cheese together, mix till blended. After 10 minutes of cooking the veggies, pour the broccoli mix into the bowl with the chicken. Stir until mixed. Add 1/4 c of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the mix. Stir.

Sausage Squash Casserole

Sausage Squash Casserole

I love squash!  Growing up it had to be fried. I loved the small pieces I could just pop them in my mouth. Then as I grew I found the love for boiled squash. Others would just say “Yuck, how can you eat that?”. It was good!  I put this recipe together in hopes to change squash a little. I think it happened. You be the judge.

I love this recipe it brings back memories of my Dad. Dad would call me up and say, “I’m going to Jackson, wanna go eat at Morrison’s?”. Of course, it was a trip with my Dad! We would get this every time we went. I don’t think they had a name for it other than Okra, Onions, and Tomatoes. My Dad was a very good cook so he started making it at home and well here’s his recipe. I hope you enjoy it.

Bacon Meatloaf

Bacon MeatloafI ‘love’ meatloaf, all kinds, so I thought about making a low carb one. Meatloaf without bread crumbs might be a little tricky but this worked out very well. It’s tasty and filling. If you pair it with green beans… now thats a winner!  One slice of meatloaf and half cup of green beans is only 8.6 carbs. I hope you enjoy this one.

Chili and Cheese Omelet
I love this recipe. It’s simple yet full of flavor. Breakfast is hard to find something low carb so most of mine are filled with eggs. A large egg is only 0.38 carbs and only has 74 calories. I dressed this recipe up with chili, cheese, onions, and sour cream.  I hope you enjoy it.
