Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into 2" florets and riced in batches
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ head green cabbage cored and cut into shreds

Notes

As a time saver, this casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking and serving. If refrigerating, make sure you bring the casserole to room temperature before baking or increase the baking time by half.
