For this recipe, I liked to use some of the typical casserole ingredients like onions and mushrooms… BUT this time I also added a few bean sprouts because they are super low carb!

Now of course you don’t have to dress the casserole the same way I do.. You can add anything or take out anything you want!

For the tomato sauce, I used a local grocery store that has no sugar added organic tomato sauce. I recommend Muir Glen if you can get it! I believe you can order it from Amazon so the link will be in the recipe card below!
