Description

A delicious and comforting low carb cheesy tuna casserole that’s perfect for a quick and healthy dinner. This recipe uses cauliflower instead of pasta to keep it low in carbs while packing in flavor with cheese, tuna, and a creamy sauce.


Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups florets), chopped into small pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (5 ounces) tuna in water, drained
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, sautéed onion and garlic, drained tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
