    This cauliflower casserole is a healthier baked casserole meatloaf style dish. It's a low carb cauliflower casserole so it's great for keto diets and anyone looking for healthy options. Easy to make ahead of time and even freeze for a future dinner.

    Even if you don't follow a low carb diet, this loaded cauliflower casserole is a great option for families looking to eat healthier. It's kind of like a shepherd's pie with cauliflower but filled with delicious things like cheese and bacon.

    Give it a shot, it's delicious!

    Things you need for this recipe:

    • Loaf pan - You can also make this in a 9x9 casserole dish as well.
    • Pork rinds - These get ground up and mixed in with the ground beef.
    • Food Processor - Pureeing the cauliflower is much easier with a food processor.
    • Worcestershire sauce - Amazon Prime pantry has a great price on an organic brand of this!
    • Tomato paste - I prefer to buy tomato paste in bulk because I always seem to never have enough when I need it.

    This is definitely a great recipe to make ahead and freeze, especially if you get some disposable loaf pans.
