Keto Ham and Cheese Casserole
This ham and cheese casserole is exactly what the doctor ordered when you need some comfort food. It's meaty and filling.
Ingredients
- 2 cup ham cubed
- 2 heads cauliflower stems removed and florets separated
- 1 cups unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Fill a large stockpot with water to three-quarters full. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, and cook florets for about 10 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the cauliflower well and place in the casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the ham over the cauliflower and tuck into the cauliflower florets.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, stirring often. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in 2 ½ cups of the shredded cheese into the skillet and stir until melted. Allow the sauce to simmer, stirring often, for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and begins clinging to the sides of the skillet.
- Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and ham. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the cauliflower begins to brown. Garnish with the sliced green onions.
