Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole

As a kid, I loved eating Mac and Cheese. During the summer, my brother and me would live off of mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches. This recipe is low carb and gluten free which makes it the perfect substitution for my childhood cravings.

We love cauliflower at our house. It is one vegetable that you can make into almost anything. I saw a recipe recently using cauliflower to make a cheese sauce that looked amazing.

This recipe uses a different ingredient called Glucomannan. I use it fairly often for thickening sauces. You can omit it if you don’t have any or check out my store and order some. Learn more about Glucomannan here.

I keep my glucomannan in a little shaker to make it easier to add to dishes.

This Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole is a good recipe to add to your weeknight rotations. It is quick and easy to throw together.

  1. We love it! My husband used to live off of Hamburger Helper in his college days, and there is just something comforting about the flavors. This is fairly easy and a really good sub. Plus you get the added benefits from the extra veggies. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Ohhh that sounds like a plan! I’m going to start working on it. Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m a total foodie, but also a health nut (which don’t always workout). I’m so glad you are enjoying my recipes : )

  3. We love cauliflower too and I often use it to replace rice, pasta or potatoes in casseroles. I’m so glad I came across this recipe!

  4. Yes, I know people lose differently. Some people’s bodies need to heal before they can lose much weight. For me, it really is for health. I was having so much blood sugar roller coaster rides (and I was eating whole foods – just too many starches and natural sweeteners). I am so thankful for THM and the information I now have to stay healthy.

  5. What a great meal. Thanks for sharing at Sweet and Savoury Sundays, I’d love you to stop by this weekend and link up!

  6. Thanks for the recipe ! My husband and I recently started the ketogenic lifestyle for weightloss and we need different options with no carbs and no sugar ☺
