Pizza Casserole

PIZZA CASSEROLE-
This is more of a method than a recipe; by this I mean you can use whatever you feel like as toppings, and whatever cheese you have on hand, or feel like using. It would be easy even to change seasonings and replace the marinara with salsa, reinventing this as a Mexican style dish---and on and on.... For the purposes of being able to give nutrition facts I made it exactly as described below.



 Ingredients-

  • 8 oz shredded cheese, divided
  • 1.5 oz parmesan (I use the kind in the green can for this!)
  • 2 Birdseye brand cauliflower rice ( or you could of course make your own if you really wanna)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste 
  • 1 lb Italian ground sausage, cooked (save grease to add to cauliflower mixture for the added fat- optional, but why not?)
  • 9.5 oz pepperoni ( I use uncured)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce ( I used Walmart brand today)


Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and Grease your 9x13 pan.
 Directions:
1. Steam cauliflower rice according to directions in microwave.
2. Place parmesan and 2 oz shredded cheese, cauliflower, egg, whipping cream and seasonings in blender and blend as much as you'd like - I tend to just do till its semi blended, but not yet creamy.
and then layer cauliflower mixture in the bottom of your pan.
3. Layer on marinara sauce.
4. Add any toppings you wish, meats, cheese, and any veggies at this time.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, till cheese all melty and bubbly!

Enjoy! *****If you use almond flour I suggest adding 4 oz cream cheese as well, as it could be a bit drier. *****Sometimes I add the cream cheese anyways- I love cream cheese!!!!!
