Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 head Cauliflower acts as a low-carb base; substitute with broccoli for variation
  • 1 can Black Beans provides protein and texture; canned beans save time
  • 1 cup Corn adds sweetness and color; frozen corn can work in a pinch
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese contributes creaminess; use Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese adds flavor and texture; swap for dairy-free cheese for a vegan version
  • 1 can Crushed Tomatoes offers acidity and moisture; substitute with tomato sauce for a smoother dish
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder intensifies flavor; fresh garlic can add a punch
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder adds depth; sautéed fresh onions can elevate sweetness
  • 1 tsp Paprika provides warmth and a hint of smokiness; consider smoked paprika for extra flavor
