Low carb and oh so tasty and full of lots of flavors can be found in this spicy cauliflower casserole.
I’m always looking for casseroles to serve Mr. G and myself and stay on a low-carb lifestyle. I was looking through some of my mom’s recipes and I found a cauliflower casserole that I knew I could change up to be low-carb. And since it was a casserole, this could be a two-night meal for us.
This recipe would also be great for the holidays or for any gathering. I also think anyone would love this recipe whether they are on a low-carb lifestyle or not.
I have changed out the meat in this recipe to whatever we happened to have and I have also doubled up on the meat. Sometimes it’s just bacon or ham or both. You could also use chicken. Yum! And you also don’t have to use the Monterey Jack Cheese since that is where the spice comes in. Monterey Cheese would make a great substitute.

This sounds so good! I was worried about the “spicy” part until I read the ingredients and now I’m definitely adding this to my must try list!
The things that you can make with cauliflower are amazing. I will have to try this recipe.
I need to make this for sure. I love my food with a kick to it!
I love spicy recipes! This Cauliflower casserole is easy and delicious.
Low-carb food often includes cauliflower. As the weather gets colder, I love to switch to comfort food and this is perfect for it.
YUM! I am going to try this and share with my son in-law, he loves cauliflower. I must admit I never liked it before until he made a dish with cauliflower and chicken, and ever since I have been hooked.
This cauliflower casserole looks like a perfect comfort food recipe for these cold autumn days. Can’t wait to give this recipe a try.
This sounds so good! It sounds similar to a mac and cheese recipe that I make. I think this would be delicious!
My sister-in-law gave up almost all carbs and substituted cauliflower instead for almost everything. She lost a lot of weight and feels great. I’ll have to share this recipe with her.
Wo! That looks absolutely delicious! This is such a really amazing recipe I would love to try this!
I wish that I was a fan of cauliflower but I’m not. 🙁 I’ve seen lots of good recipes that call for it too. But I can’t get the courage to try it again since I’m older. I wonder if I could use broccoli instead.
I’ve been making a cheese and cauliflower casserole for a few years but adding the element of spice makes it so much better! Thanks for the great recipe!
Where is the spicy ingredient? Am I missing something?
The Monterey Jack Cheese is the spice. It has Jalapeno peppers in the cheese.
