Who doesn’t love casserole? Everyone loves a casserole. That’s just a fact. So I made one the other day. Then, you know what I did with the leftovers? This is what I did. I added the leftovers to a pan along with some eggs and BOOM. Breakfast. Gosh, paleo is just so easy sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes.
I honestly wish I could tell you that this weekend was the best weekend I’ve ever had. But it wasn’t that crazy. It was filled with a good amount of food, cooking, a lot of trying to sleep, and movies. Whenever I am feeling even the slightest bit of anxiety about something, I can’t sleep. I create these lists in my head of everything I need to get done. Or everything that could be. Or everything I can’t control. I remember in college, writing down my daily schedule, hour by hour, to make sure I didn’t forget anything. It’s definitely an obsessive quality of mine. One of which I’m sure someone will give me sh*t for. Which is understandable. We all have obsessive qualities, but we always think other people’s obsessions are way more weird.
I did go shopping. That also makes anxiety calm down.
Then found out that my favorite restaurant has amazing gluten free bread. That made my life really exciting. No it wasn’t paleo. Yes it was amazing. And it didn’t give me anxiety.
Then I made a banana bread that came out like bubble gum. Seriously. It tasted freaking delicious, but it was like chewing banana bubble gum. That’s just gross dude. That made me anxious again.
So then I worked out. That made me sore, but less anxious.
At this point, I’m back to the anxious stage. I’ll explain more tomorrow.
I am not a very good ball of joy right now. What in the hell. Get it together, Juli.
Almost 5 Ingredient Green Chile Chorizo Cauliflower Casserole
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound chorizo (I was lucky enough to have game meat chorizo, but any sort of ground meat would work)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 12 ounces diced green chiles (I used canned green chiles)
- 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 eggs, whisked
- lots of salt and pepper
- diced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Add chorizo and yellow onion to the pan and brown meat.
- Once meat is fully cooked through, add diced green chiles to the pan and mix well.
- After everything is mixed, remove from heat and add to a large bowl.
- Using a food processor with the shredding attachment, add cauliflower florets and puree until you get cauliflower rice. Place cauliflower rice in bowl.
- Add garlic powder, whisked eggs to bowl along with lots of salt and pepper (more salt than pepper) and mix everything together. Remember that the cauliflower will want the flavor.
- Add mixture to a greased 9×13 glass baking dish and place in oven. Bake for 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before eatin’ up. Top with diced green onions, if you’d like!

Thank you so much for this! I couldn’t think of a nice substitute for my corn tortilla enchiladas.. I think this may be it! Thinking of all the possibilities now… With chicken, or maybe a little cream cheese as a treat. Even red sauce would probably be delicious in there. You’re awesome.
Hope your anxiety goes away! Thank you for sharing recipes even when you are not feeling great!
Don’t be so anxious, you’re a beautiful person and you help so many people cook tasty, healthy food.
Thank you for everything you do!
I’ll be making this after I run out of spaghetti squash quiche!
Do you think frozen cauliflower would work or would that change the texture too much- too smooth?
yes, just let it thaw out first!
Love recipes that have my meat and my veggies all in one – makes my life way easier!
Love your casseroles!! Keep them coming!! This looks great
This sounds so good! I am curious to know what your opinion may be: what can you substitute an onion with? I had a food sensitivity blood test done due to a long list of aggravating health issues and onions popped pretty high up there on the list. BOO!! Freakin’ love onions! The bastards… Anywho… I’ve made your simple chorizo hash & spaghetti squash breakfast bake and swapped the onion for a green bell pepper. Not the same, but it’s all I could think of? But I stink at food-creating and you are so awesome at it. 🙂 What else could substitute an onion? Lol.
BTW, almonds popped high on the list — BOO! Lol.
i was thinking the same thing with a bell pepper! i don’t love the taste of green bell pepper, so i’d probably use another color, but whatever works for you!! and add lots of garlic too 🙂 almonds irritate my gut a ton too, i try to stay away from them!
Garlic? That would help fill in the “gap” — you’re a genius! Thanks! 😀
i’m guessing if you have an onion sensitivity garlic wouldn’t work for you either. or anything in the family (leeks, shallots,etc.) my husband has this and i had to re-learn how to cook! i hate not using onion
Leeks may be a good substitute for onion? Just a thought.
Unfortunately, leeks are in the same class. 🙁 Similar properties I’ve been told. So I have to avoid the whole family. Boo!
I am definitely the same way! My head just doesnt stop sometimes and its the worst! Working out does help but it is still annoying! Can’t wait to try this one! Sausage scares me though in recipes not going to lie!
This looks awesome Juli!!
Looks amazing!!
I get anxiety, too. I hate anxiety! It’s dumb! Hoping your day gets better and less anxious!
