I really enjoyed this mixed with Keto Buttery Broccoli with Bacon. I made a cheesy rice broccoli bowl. Even my husband, who normally doesn’t care for cauliflower, scarfed it down.

This is so good. I used it as a main dish rather than a side. My two year old nephew loved it. Even though he kept saying he didn’t and yuck while shoveling as much as he could into his mouth.

What is cauliflower rice?
babybobscuba335a 6 years ago
It is just cauliflower but chopped up into tiny bits. You can do it yourself or find bags of it already chopped / "riced" for you at the grocery store. At Walmart i found both non-frozen and frozen variety. :)

is the cauliflower rice pre cooked before putting it in a skillet to brown it?

Hi! I just tried this last night and it is AMAZING! The cauli-rice I used was Not pre-cooked before I put it in the skillet. I just put a lid on the pan and turned on medium high heat and stirred every few minutes until I was happy with the amount of browning. :) hope it works out for you!
