Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 - 2 lbs of cauliflower florets (frozen cauliflower can most times be cheaper than buying a head of cauliflower)
• 1 lb of bacon (optional)
• 8 ounces of cream cheese
• 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup of mayo of your choice
• 1 packet of hidden valley ranch seasoning or 1 ounce of your own mixture of ranch dressing seasoning.(Some alternatives - Moms's or Walden Farms)
•  2 - 3 chicken breasts

Directions
Pre-Cook the chicken
Add the cauliflower florets into a 9x13 pan, drizzle with a little bit of olive oil or butter, and bake in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes if the cauliflower is thawed. If frozen, place in the oven for 30 minutes. While the cauliflower is cooking, this is a good time to cook the bacon in the oven as well.
While the cauliflower and bacon is cooking in a mixing bowl add the softened cream cheese, mayo, heavy whipping cream and ranch seasoning to the bowl and using an imersion blender or a hand blender mix well.
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and place into another mixing bowl.
Add the bacon (if you want) and the cauliflower the bowl with the chicken.
Take the ranch dressing and add that to the bowl with the chicken mixture.
Mix well to coat.
Add to a 9x13 pan and cook in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Below is a video of this being done.

Cauliflower rice is something that I keep seeing at the store to which to me is nothing more than just over priced cauliflower that you can easily make at home. You can make this out of a head of cauliflower or sometimes it may be cheaper to buy the frozen cauliflower florets in the frozen section of your store. 

All that you need to make this is:

• Cauliflower
• Food Processor   or something like a Ninja

Directions:

1. If you are using a full head of cauliflower, trim off the florets and place into your Food Processor or Ninja
2. Blend or process it until it resembles rice like consistency. 
3. That is all.

In my quest to find a replacement for the Ham and Egg bake that my family loves to have for breakfast in the AM, i decidedto take out the high carb ingredient (potatoes) and replace it with a low carb alternative (cauliflower). This needed to cook longer than a traditional egg bake does, possibly due to the extra water in the cauliflower, but it still turned out to be good. I did not put any "seasoning" on this, but some ground pepper seemed to compliment this fairly well. 

If ham is not your thing, you can certainly replace the ham with another protein source, or you can leave it out all together. I have used turkey ham from time to time when is on sale and cheaper than the regular ham product. 

Ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• 3-4 cups chopped ham or turkey ham
• 1 head of cauliflower cut up into small pieces
• 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
• about 2 cups of shredded cheese. 

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Cut the caulilower up into small pieces
3. Place the cauliflower into a 9x13 pan and drizzle with some olive oil
4. Cook in the oven for about 10 - 20 minutes to soften up the cauliflower. 
5. While the cauliflower is cooking, in a medium bowl add the eggs and the heavy whipping cream (can also use almond milk) and mix together using a immersion blender or a handheld blender. 
6. Chop the ham or turkey ham into bit size pices.
7. Once the cauliflower is done cooking, let it cool for a bit (unless you plan to make the casserole right away)
8. add the ham and 1/2 the cheese into the cauliflower and mix well. 
9. Add the egg mixture to the 9x13 pan, then top with the rest of the cheese
10. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 - 45 minutes. 
11. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additonal 45 minutes. Check the casserole at the end of the 45 minutes to make sure that all the eggs are cooked. If they are not fully cooked, cook for an additional 20 - 30 minutes. 
12. Check the eggs about every 15 minutes to see if the eggs are done or not.

Here is a great recipe for some Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Casserole. 

This is not too spicy, it worked great for my 6 year old the other night and she loved it. I was not sure how it was going to turn out, but the casserole did not last long! The nice thing is that you can add more buffalo sauce if you need to, so you dont make it too hot for everyone else (after you serve your self up some)

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 - 1.5 packages of cream cheese (8 - 12 ounces)
• 1/2 cup of ranch dressing
• 1/3 cup of Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
• a bit of olive oil (can omit if you want)
• handful of diced green onions 
• 1-2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 or so cups of shredded cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup of bleu cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Direcitons:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Cut up the cauliflower into florets and add them into a 9x13 pan
3. Drizzle some of the olive oil on the cauliflower (not needed) for a bit of extra flavor
4. Cook in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes. 
5. While the cauliflower is cookingin a bowl add the ranch dressing, the Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce, garlic powder and cream cheese. 
6. Using a handheld mixer, mix until well combined. 
7. Once the cauliflower is done cooking, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and take the cauliflower out of the oven. 
8. Add the cauliflower, chicken into the cream sauce and mix well. 
9. Pour the mixture back into the 9x13 pan
10. bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted. 
11. At this point you can add the green onions if you want.

Here is a low carb, gluten free and keto friendly casserole that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb bulk pork sausage (Gluten Free sausage)
• 1 whole cauliflower chopped into an inch or 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 - 8 ounce package of cream cheese or neufchatel cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp dried onion, minced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp parsley flakes
• 1 ½ cup shredded cheese (monterey jack or something like that)

Instruction:

1. Cook the sausage and add it to a large mixing bowl and add the cauliflower to the mixing bowl .
2. Soften the cream cheese and then mix it with the eggs, seasonings, and the cream into a mixing bowl and whisk them with a wire wisk until they are smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into the large bowl and mix it well. Add the contents of the large bowl into a 9x13 pan and sprinkle cheese on the top.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

If you want to make this gluten free, you need to make sure that the sausage is Gluten Free, and that the spices are also. The McCormick Red Top spices are all gluten free (for the single item spice). McCormick does a good job at listing what products contain gluten.
