No Name Casserole–an easy one-pan meal combining ground beef, mushrooms, and cauliflower rice in a coconut milk sauce and topped with sliced almonds.
No Name Casserole
Today’s recipe is different than anything I’ve ever made before. It seems weird, doesn’t look that appetizing but it actually was so yummy. I grabbed the recipe from Paleo in PDX and the author states, “Does no name casserole sound familiar to anyone? This is a recipe I grew up with and always enjoyed, despite how undesirable and drab looking it appears…I remember liking the flavors of this dish growing up and decided to reinvent it, paleo-style…The casserole is not the prettiest looking thing, but it is delicious. Its flavors did resemble that of the original, but in my humble opinion, it tasted even better!”

I agree about the celery. Is this just a missed item or something added but not listed?? Does look very interesting and would love to make it but want to make sure about the ‘celery’ issue first.
oops!! I just corrected it!
Do you mean canned coconut milk or like a carton of milk? This recipe looks good and I have celery in my fridge now.
canned coconut milk, I find it in the asian foods area at the grocery store
There is celery in the picture, but celery is not mentioned in the ingredient list or in the recipe directions. If celery should be included, how much would you suggest? Was celery the only missing ingredient?
oops!! I just corrected it!
