Pizza Casserole
This casserole is high in fat! Schedule this meal on a Low Carb day or be certain to follow your meal guide closely if you choose to eat on a Moderate day.
This is not a good option for High Carb days.

Notes
You don't have to cover the entire casserole in vegetables but make sure there are a few on your section. :)
Serve with side salads.
To lower fat I have subbed half and half in place of the heavy cream, saved about 20 grams of fat from the recipe and the casserole still turned out!
