Quick to prepare and oven-baked to bubbly perfection in just 30 minutes, this savory casserole serves as a wholesome, one-pan solution for dinner that the whole family will love.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets in a large pot until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
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.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
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.
Gently fold in the steamed cauliflower, sautéed vegetable mixture, and drained canned tuna until everything is coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
