Notes

  • If you don't have cauliflower rice, you can make your own by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until they are the size of rice grains.
  • You can also use frozen cauliflower rice instead of fresh. Just make sure to thaw it before using it in the recipe.
  • This casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
