What Kind of Cauliflower Rice May Be Use In This Low Carb Casserole

You may use fresh or frozen cauliflower rice in this casserole. If using frozen cauliflower rice, you will want to thaw it completely before baking. This will eliminate excess water in the casserole. To thaw, simply microwave for 1 to 2 minutes and drain the excess water. You can even put the thawed cauliflower rice in paper towels and squeeze out any excess water, similar to frozen spinach.
