Cheesy Potato & Cauliflower Casserole

Cheesy Potato & Cauliflower Casserole

This high-energy casserole takes two of nature’s finest veggies and mixes them up with none other than gooey cheesy deliciousness! I use sharp cheddar, but feel free to add whatever cheese makes your family oooh and ahhh.

Potatoes are considered complex carbs which reads: good and healthy for you. Complex carbs give you long-lasting energy instead of the rush followed by a crash that simple carbs (white pastas, rice, sugars) deliver.

And cauliflower, one of the most undersung vegetables in the garden, is a cruciferous veggie chock full of vital nutrients like choline (important neurotransmitter for nerve and muscle function), biotin (otherwise known as Vitamin B7 which helps out your metabolism), folate, vitamin C, vitamin K and many other nutrients crucial for total body health. I guess you could call cauliflower a superfood!

Pair the Cheesy Potato & Cauliflower Casserole up with a steak, chicken or even fish for a well-rounded and definitely worthy-of-your-dinner-rotation side dish.
