GREEN CHILE CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE – LOW CARB KETO THM

I’m so excited that Taryn invited me to Guest Post on Joy Filled Eats!  I am thrilled to share this simple and scrumptious Green Chile Cauliflower Rice Casserole, inspired by one of my all-time favorite family dishes!

One of my favorite things to do is to take my favorite childhood comfort food recipes and “de-carb” them!  We all have those dishes that evoke “food memories” …sometimes for me, it’s just the aroma that does it!  Well, just because we are living a low-carb or keto lifestyle shouldn’t mean that we miss out on all those amazing flavors from our past!

Green Chile Cauliflower Casserole was inspired by one of my favorite special occasion dishes.  I remember it was always on the table at Christmas and other holiday dinners…or at least I hoped it was!  It’s funny…I’m not quite sure why it was reserved mostly for special occasions because it is so easy to make…probably because it is rich and decadent and those dishes in our house were always reserved for holidays!  The version from my childhood had white rice as the main ingredient so I switched it up with some cauliflower rice, made a few other modifications and I have to say this low carb version is even better than the original…sorry, mom!
