Easy Brunzi Baseball Casserole

This Easy Brunzi Baseball Casserole is something you can slip in SO many good things. You can mix regular rice with cauliflower rice. Also, add some spinach or kale to the mix. Chop up some fresh mushrooms. Use your imagination! I have started sprinkling a bit of nutritional yeast on top, along with some cheddar cheese. Also, cashew cheese would be good, although it would totally screw with my brain. I’m not sure I could use cauliflower rice and cashew cheese. That may be too much for my little heart to manage.

COOKING TIPS:

If preparing the cauliflower rice from frozen, I suggest removing it from the freezer and leaving it on the counter to soften and defrost while you cook whatever you are planning on serving it.

OVEN COOKING METHOD (my favorite!)

Preheat the oven to 425F. Spread cauliflower rice on one or more baking sheets (depending on how much you have) into a single layer. Don’t make yourself crazy about the single-layer thing. You don’t want to crowd the pan, or it will steam and remain moist. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping the “rice” at least 1x. Remove, serve and enjoy!

FRYING PAN METHOD:

  1. Heat a small amount of olive oil or coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add cauliflower rice.
  2. I like to “dry fry” it to remove as much moisture as possible. Make sure to season with salt, pepper, and another complimentary spice if possible. Enjoy!
