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!

Just made this to have for breakfast through the week….had to sample a corner…yummy! 🙂 Thanks for the great idea & recipe. I think I’ll add a couple more eggs next time to make it a little more solid. I guess that would be more frittata like. Thanks again!
I subbed spaghetti squash for cauliflower and threw in some fresh jalapenos along with the green chile. It turned out really well – so spicy and delicious! Perfect for winter.
I just made this and it was very tasty. I used ground beef and added a can of tomatoes. I am new to this paleo thing and I am really enjoying your recipes.
Very good, I just wish my green chiles were a little spicier. I’m glad I liked it, I have enough to last a week.
Tell me though, how did you possibly prep this in 15 minutes? It took me much longer than that, probably close to that just to get everything out of the fridge/cabinets.
Hi Juli! I’ve been following your blog for awhile and am now in midst of a full-on Paleo Challenge. Your recipes have been super helpful in getting me through this! How do you think this would freeze? I’ve been looking for good recipes to stock up on so I have some healthy paleo food in a pinch. If not this one, have you frozen any of your other casseroles/stews? Thanks
i’m not sure. i’m sure it would be great though!
I made this last night, thinking that I’d be the only one eating it. Wow! Was I wrong! Easy and Yummy! Love it! Thank you!!!
On Sunday we made the Almost Five Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti and tonight the Almost Five Ingredient Green Chili Cauliflower. We could not decide which was better. Thank you for these wonderful recipes. My husband and I look at each other sometimes and are amazed at how well we eat. There is no room to miss the things we thouht we would miss (wheat, sugar).
Just made this! DELICIOUS!! It didn’t look like yours as far as color but from reading a previous comment, it doesn’t really matter! Will definitely be making this again :0)
So I kinda made this casserole. I made your pizza casserole last week (practically ate the whole thing by myself…oops) and LOVED it so I thought I would make a different version this week. Although I only used 4 ingredients and only 2 were the same as yours….oops again. All I had on hand was spaghetti squash, eggs, ground pork and tomatillo salsa (organic and clean ingredients). Somehow it came out great!! I can’t wait to have it for brunch tomorrow! These spaghetti squash casseroles are simple and a total hit! Thanks for sharing!!
