Keto recipes often suggest using cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes. And for good reason!

All of the ingredients come together in the heat of the oven to create a bubbly, cheesy, keto cauliflower casserole that your family is going to love!

I like to start out by steaming cauliflower florets on the stovetop. I find it important to cook the cauliflower first, before baking it, since the casserole itself doesn’t cook that long.

If you want, you can sprinkle on even more cheese, and bake until bubbly. It’s that simple!
