Notes
Serving Suggestions
I most often serve this casserole as a complete meal on its own, but sometimes I want to add some extra green to our table. Here are some great options.- Roasted Green Beans with Parmesan are a simple to make side that even kids love.
- Keto Asparagus is quick to make and never fails to delight. You can make it in your oven or air fryer.
- I never get tired of these crispy Keto Brussels Sprouts.
- A simple side of celery sticks is lovely to add a layer of texture and crunch.
