Casseroles are the perfect weeknight meal because you can put them together in just a few minutes and then let the oven do the rest. It gives you time to get all those little things done around the house, like switch the laundry, or even take a quick shower. Loaded Chicken & Cauliflower Casserole is so full of flavor your house is going to be smelling like heaven within 10 minutes of getting it into the oven.
This dish is full on keto – cauliflower is one of the very best potato substitutes for keto dishes. And they really are just as versatile too! In this particular casserole, they add just enough crunch for texture and give a great flavor. If you have not yet been able to convince yourself or family to give cauliflower a try – this is an excellent casserole to make! The cheesy, creamy, bacony goodness cannot go wrong!
If you have trouble finding Everything Seasoning (try Costco, Trader Joe’s or Amazon) – you could also just uses some garlic powder, and onion powder. It won’t be exactly the same but still yummy.
