Baked Cauliflower Casserole with Mushrooms

Baked Cauliflower Casserole

My family has always referred to this baked cauliflower casserole as “Cleo’s Casserole”. But that is neither fair nor true. A colleague shared this recipe with me many years ago and I have kept it and used it so many times since. Why? Because it is just a good one. It is flexible with the add ins and always tastes fantastic. During the holiday’s when entertaining, I usually will use a large casserole dish, two heads of Cauliflower and a generous serving of Parmesan cheese. There are so many ways to enjoy this casserole, so get creative and enjoy the nutritional benefits of Cauliflower.

Why We All Need More Cauliflower

There are so many benefits to eating cauliflower I don’t know where to start. A single serving equals about 1 cup of chopped cauliflower and only 25 calories. The majority of a cauliflower’s composition is water. A one cup serving will yield roughly 5 grams of carbohydrates and 2.5 grams of fiber, sugar and protein per serving. Cauliflower is free of both fat and cholesterol. It is a rich source of Vitamin C. It also contains Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium, Magnesium and antioxidants. Cauliflower is also rich in Choline, which is necessary for brain development. A choline deficiency could result in liver and heart disease as well as neurological disorders.
