Tips & notes
- Serve over cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or with celery sticks for scooping to keep it fully keto.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. The casserole also freezes well for up to 2 months.
- Not a blue cheese fan? Swap it for extra cheddar or a ranch-style dressing folded in. Adjust the buffalo sauce up or down to control the heat.
