  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup crushed pork-free rinds or gluten-free breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Steam or boil cauliflower florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Stir in drained tuna, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked cauliflower florets.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and, if using, the crushed pork-free rinds or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the topping is lightly browned.
  9. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried dill or parsley to the tuna mixture.
  • If you prefer a creamier casserole, increase the amount of milk slightly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
