    This Keto Buffalo Chicken Casserole is like a favorite version of Mac and Cheese, but even better. I know, there can be nothing better than Mac and Cheese but trust me, this is.

    Also, this is low-carb and keto-friendly, which means yay! You can stay out of those Unhealthy calories which you do not want and enjoy a filling and delicious meal without any stress.

    I just love love love this Keto Buffalo Chicken Casserole recipe. It makes for a perfect dinner recipe for busy weeknights. I generally prep this recipe in the morning and when I am back home, I bake it just before dinner and serve this with some Roasted Veggies or Roasted Chicken.

    The best part is, it's family-friendly. I think the biggest concern we all have while taking up dieting is that what to make for the family. Well, then you have recipes like this one, which you can enjoy with the family and no one will complain ever!

    My kids loved this recipe. It's such a fun dinner recipe for the family, perfect for weeknights. We love to enjoy these with some Chicken Drumsticks.

    This Buffalo Chicken Casserole is undoubtedly so creamy and comforting. The best part is of course the Ranch Buffalo dressing on top. It brings the perfect heat and creaminess to this recipe. This is a perfect Whole 30 and Paleo recipe for dinner.

    Buffalo Chicken Casserole with Cauliflower

    This Buffalo Chicken Casserole uses small Cauliflower florets instead of Cauliflower rice. Sure you can use Cauliflower rice. But I like to use fresh Cauliflower for this recipe. For one thing, it gives a chunky bite to this casserole and feels like Mac and Cheese.

    And secondly, Cauliflower Rice makes this Casserole way too watery and moist. So, it's always easy to use Fresh Cauliflower which is cut into bite-sized chunks and resembles Elbow Macaroni Noodles.

    A perfect weeknight dinner recipe

    This Keto Buffalo Chicken Casserole makes for a great weeknight dinner. I like things a little comforting and quick especially on busy weeknights. You can use Rotisserie Chicken as well or precooked Shredded Chicken for the recipe. Honestly, I just use leftover Chicken Breasts. I just chop them up and toss them with the sauce ingredients and dump them together until baked to perfection.

    That's what I love about this recipe. A basic dump and forget dinner which is always a family favorite.
