Mushroom Chicken and Sausage Casserole

This recipe is a favorite now. I substituted cauliflower for those 'nasty' high carb potatoes.  No one in my family could tell the cauliflower was there, yeah me! Using the cauliflower instead of potatoes cuts the carbs way down. By cutting this into 8 pieces gives each piece only 6 carbs per serving.


Mushroom Chicken and Sausage Casserole

• 3-4 cups diced cooked chicken
• 1 pound pork sausage
• 1 stalk celery, chopped fine
• 1 tablespoon onion, chopped
• 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 16 ounce bag frozen cauliflower, cooked well and drained
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
• Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Paprika, optional

Brown the sausage with the celery, onion and mushrooms. Stir the softened cream cheese into the sausage mixture until well blended. Coarsely chop the cooked cauliflower. Mix all of the ingredients and spread in a greased 9x13" baking dish. If desired, dust the top with paprika. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes until the top is nicely browned. Can be frozen
