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!

Can totally relate. I had an awful sleep last night and mostly because I was figuring out how I was going to fit in my meal prep for the week AND yoga today. Literally ruined my whole night’s sleep…really?!
This recipe is perfect since I just bought some chorizo this week!
Um Yum!!! I love casseroles too, so easy, so good!
Can’t wait to try this!!! I need to change things up a little from eating your amazing Pizza Spaghetti Pie for every meal the last several days! 🙂
So, about the scheduling your day hour by hour – guilty. Seems it was more effective in college than it is now, but that doesn’t stop me from doing it when I feel overwhelmed!
I made your last 5-ingredient dish (and loved it!!) and am going to make this one tonight with pork sausage….do you cook the cauliflower before you shred it, or put it in the food processor raw?
Shred it and keep it raw and it cooks while in the oven!
dumb question, but are green chillies hot?
Also can I sub chillies for something else?
I can’t do nightshades, and my kids don’t like spicy hot food, but it doesn’t look a yummo dish.
not very hot! just a tad. and absolutely! whatever else you want!
I’ve been told by a naturopathic doctor who counseled against nightshades, that Hatch Green Chiles are actually not nightshades, so maybe you could use mild green chiles for you and your kids?
Loving all of your casseroles! They make such amazing leftovers. I’ve made the spaghetti squash pizza twice in the last week and now I just made this one tonight! Thanks so much for your awesome recipes!
We made your pizza casserole on Friday and loved it. While we were eating I told my husband that it was nice to have a casserole! I kinda missed that. Casseroles are so comforting. Can’t wait to try this one 🙂
Soooo incredibly easy and delicious!!! I added lots of red chili flakes and used TJ’s 21 Seasoning Salute when I was cooking the meat (I used ground beef).
YUM! Thanks for the recipe!
Someone at Crossfit told me about your website and I LOVE your recipes, your storys, etc…. Question – may be stupid but I don’t have a food processor but a Blendtec blender – can you use that to chop up the cauliflower?
yes, absolutely!!
