Keto Crustless Pizza Casserole

If you are on the Keto diet, I think you’d agree that there is nothing that is missed more than a great piece of pizza!

Here I’m going to share with you my recipe for Keto Crustless Pizza Casserole, and you’re going to love the crunch of the toppings so much, you’ll make this again and again!

Yeah, you’ve made pizza with a cauliflower crust before, but that soggy crust with the burnt edge just isn’t the same!

And fathead dough is great, but it’s kind of a pain to make…

This Keto Crustless Pizza Casserole is as easy as it is delicious!

OK…let’s get to it!

Ingredients

  • 1 Head of Cauliflower
  • Pepperoni
  • 1 LB Ground Italian Sausage
  • Mushrooms, Green Bell Pepper, Onions
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 Jar Pasta Sauce (low carb or no sugar added)
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Italian seasoning

Of course you can add whatever your other favorite pizza toppings are: Ham, bacon, jalapeños, olives…pineapple???

Yeah, that last one is debatable…

Keto Zucchini Enchiladas Recipe

Zucchini Keto Recipes

Is zucchini Keto friendly? Hell yes! That’s why we’re making Keto Zucchini Enchiladas 🙂

If you have been on a Ketogenic Diet for any extended amount of time (or any other low-carb version of the Keto diet) you know ALL ABOUT using zucchini as a substitute for noodles, and maybe even french fries… yum!

But in this recipe they are a sub for tortillas!! And it’s super delicious!

If you are a business person and are on my website reading about leadership, hiring, inspiration, and then all the sudden you come across a zucchini recipe, let me explain!

In order to be an effective leader, you have to be healthy!

Now, I’m not saying that there isn’t UNHEALTHY leaders out there, because there surely are, and plenty of them are effective, amazing leaders.

However, that poor health is going to catch up with them at some point!

God forbid it’s something major like a heart attack, but even if it’s not, eventually the extra weight an unhealthy leader lugs around, or the extra cholesterol in their arteries will slow them down.

Diet is truly the largest part of health.

Yes, exercise plays a major role too, but if a person just changes their diet, they can change their whole life! They will experience, better sleep, more energy, less caffeine needed to get through the day, and hopefully eliminating medications!

That’s why I write about diet, and that’s why I post healthy recipes! It’s THAT important to me.

Glassett Cooking Hour: TGIF Edition

We have been traveling a ton these days, and it’s been AWESOME, even if a couple of the trips were to visit family in a time of loss.

We are finally back in the regular swing of things, and really looking to making a weekly habit out of FB Live.

We’re hoping to make Thursday the FB Live Day, with some TGiF editions sprinkled in there, so cheers to that!

So, what are we cooking Friday??

Dude, This is THE Meatloaf

In a rare fashion, we’re actually cooking something for the third time on LIVE! We almost always make something new, but this time I’ve actually cooked this before.

It’s a low carb and Keto take on meatloaf where there is actually no ketchup glaze (and honestly, it doesn’t need it).

The first time I made this, I posted a few pics on Instagram, and I got BOMBARDED for the recipe.

Happy to share it now that we’re cooking it live!

After the dish is done (and eaten) I’ll post pictures of the finished product.

Here’s my beautiful wife Michelle making Keto Empanadas!

I will be the camera man, and for the first time ever, I’ll also be Michelle’s coach because I have actually made this recipe once before!!

That’s a first on The Glassett Cooking Hour!

you can find Michelle’s Facebook here: Michelle Glassett

You can find my facebook page here Nick Glassett
Note: the FB Live will be broadcast from Michelle’s FB account

This blog post will serve as the recipe page so we can share it with you, and then after we cooked the dish (and ate it) I updated the post with any tweaks we think the recipe needs, as well as add photos and any further instructions that we feel are missing.

What Website am I on?

If your curious as to what site your on, this is actually my (Nick’s) blog, and it actually has very little to do with food! It’s a business, and management/leadership blog where I write a lot of inspirational content and it generally follows my thoughts about business, running teams of any kind, and self awareness and personal growth. If you happen to poke around a bit, AWESOME! I love any feedback and of course your eye balls on my writing is amazing.

I’m trying to get Michelle to start her own blog, but we’re pretty busy people so I have yet to succeed in that…until then, these recipes will have to live on my blog!

Disclaimer, I have no freaking idea how to write recipes, so I just keep it simple 🙂

We love any and all feedback, so please let us know what you thought by dropping us a line! I put a contact form at the bottom of the post!

Thanks for tuning in!!!!!
