Casserole Ingredients and Variations

PROTEIN: Cooked and shredded chicken breast makes this recipe a timesaver! Leftover ground beef or pork, even turkey will do a well. And bacon makes everything taste better!

VEGGIES: Broccoli and cauliflower give this dish a colorful texture, but you can use other low-carb veggies like zucchini, brussels sprouts, green beans, mushrooms, peas, spinach, or bell peppers.

SAUCE:All great sauces start with heavy cream. Add chicken broth, garlic, cream cheese, and some seasonings. Mix up the flavors and stir in some Southwest Seasoning.
