Honey Mustard Broccoli Rice Casserole

I love a good one-dish meal that is comforting – especially in the fall. What I love about this dish is how light it is. Many times, casseroles are heavy, loaded with fats and carbs and just fairly unhealthy. This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free with a vegan option and very low-carb. I took the traditional broccoli-rice casserole and gave it a little twist with the honey mustard. It presents a sweet, yet tangy flavor to this great dish. Makes 6 servings

1 large head of cauliflower, riced

1 large head of broccoli, chopped

1 cup shredded chicken, cooked (optional – *see variation below)

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp parsley

1/2 cup honey mustard dressing

2 cup shredded dairy-free cheese

• In a casserole pan, combine cauliflower, broccoli, chicken, pepper, salt, ginger, parsley, dressing and 1 cup shredded cheese.
• Stir until well combined and top with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes or until mixture is starting to brown.
