Ingredients

  • 2 cans (5 ounces each) Canned tuna
  • 4 cups Cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups Fresh spinach
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 0.5 cup Pork rind crumbs (or almond flour for a gluten-free topping)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Steam the cauliflower florets in a large pot until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the steamed cauliflower, sautéed vegetable mixture, and drained canned tuna until everything is coated in the creamy sauce.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the pork rind crumbs (or almond flour) with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
