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!

Made this last night! So amazing! Ate way too much=really bloaty! Thanks again! Love your recipes Juli! You are amazing
I made this last night, and it was a cauliflowery, sausagey explosion of flavor for my taste buds. The only thing I did different was I added cheese. Glorious. Thanks so much.
I’ve been waiting to make this (I’ve been on the road most of the month so far). I am headed out to get the ingredients I still need today. Looking forward to some amazing goodness in the morning!
This recipe is DELICIOUS! Super easy to make and I appreciate that the ingredients are simple. I’ve made a few of your recipes this week (this one and the Almost 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie- umm, equally delicious) and I am now only searching for Paleo recipes from you! Thank you for keeping things fresh, easy and real! xo
This is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, paleo or not. So awesome! thanks 🙂
I made this tonight. Frigging FANTASTIC. Thanks a heap!!!
🙂
Making this tonight but the only chorizo we have available where we live (Fairbanks Alaska) is the squishy, greasy kind so it’ll probably come out really red but I dont care, I love the sound of this dish and cant wait. Thanks for all the delicious recipes!
Since cauliflower is another veg my bf will “tolerate” and were doing the whole30 I had to make this! Couldn’t find a compliant chorizo and were having a lot of beef this week so I started a batch of salsa verde chicken thighs in the crockpot and used that, so for the onions I nearly caramelized them in ghee and added 2 4oz cans chilies, one hot one mild for some kick. Perhaps I should have dried off the cauliflower after ricing because he said he wished it was a little drier, although if I had cooked it longer it would have burnt! Was nick and crispy brown around the outside. Delish!!!! Also making your southwest meatloaf again this week, it was a hit the first time! Both 4-5 stars (wouldn’t let me rate)
Hello,
Can I make this without the cauliflower? More like a quiche?
Thanks!
sure
Can this be made a few days ahead and fridge it till you bake the night you eat?
haven’t tried doing that
