Cauliflower Casserole: Supreme Pizza Style

We love the cauliflower casserole, but sometimes loaded faux-tatoes get boring.  Switching it up is always interesting.  I have made a jalapeno popper variation and a buffalo chicken rendition, but I do believe supreme pizza toppings give the cauliflower casserole my favorite flavor.  Whether it be because we haven't had pizza in three months or that this was an awesome way to use some ingredients I had on hand, I would highly recommend trying this one out.

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets (it is important that you use fresh cauliflower, not frozen)
1 bag fire roasted red, green, and yellow peppers with onions (you could use fresh if desired)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. Italian seasoning
Salt
Pepper
1/4 cup no sugar added pizza sauce
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Canadian Bacon (optional)
Pepperoni (optional)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

On a baking pan, arrange the cauliflower in a single layer, drizzling with olive oil and topping with a sprinkle of Parmesan, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.  Bake for 20 minutes.

In a skillet, saute the blend of peppers and onions with the garlic.

Once you remove the cauliflower from the oven, place the it in a large mixing bowl, an mix with the remaining Parmesan and pizza sauce.

Spread the mixture in the bottom of a prepared baking dish. Top with the sauteed peppers and onions, Canadian Bacon, pepperoni, and any other toppings you want to add.  Sprinkle with Mozzarella and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown.

Portobello Mushroom Cap Pizza

Most of our recipes prove that we are definitely fans of mushrooms in our household.  One of my favorite recipes using mushrooms is the Portobello Mushroom Cap Pizza.  These are quick and simple plus make a hearty meal.  What's not to love?

Ingredients:
2 large Organic Portobello Mushroom caps
1/2 jar of your favorite alfredo sauce
Sliced pepperoni or salami
1/2 bag of fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
2 tbsp. Italian Seasoning
Garlic Salt
Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Remove the stems from the Portobello Mushrooms and wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.  Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.

In a skillet on medium heat wilt down the spinach after drizzling with olive oil.  Add in the minced garlic, alfredo sauce, and Italian Seasoning.

After removing the mushrooms from the oven, top with the alfredo and spinach mixture, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni.  Bake for 20 more minutes, or until the mozzarella turns golden brown.
