Broccoli Cauliflower Rice Casserole is a hearty casserole featuring cauliflower and broccoli, enhanced with spices and cheese. Use cauliflower rice instead of white rice and cut out the carbs.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Melt butter in a skillet and add flour. Stir constantly and cook until there are no lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat until the roux turns blonde in color.
Slowly pour in whole milk and whisk constantly until its smooth. Bring it to a slow boil.
Stir in Dijon Mustard and Hot Sauce. Stir in Freshly Ground Black Pepper, Salt, Dried Oregano, Italian Seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Stir in Mayonnaise and whisk well until there are no lumps and the sauce is silky smooth and creamy. Remove it off the heat.
Stir in Broccoli florets, Cauliflower rice, Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, and Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.
Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven for 30-minutes or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
Remove from oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve right away.
