"Caul" Me MAYBE

Yesterday I wanted to try out a new creation with my crockpot. I wasn't in the mood for any buffalo chicken chili (which was a close second choice) and wanted to see if I was able to turn my pizza craving into something slightly more healthy.

I had seen the idea of using cauliflower instead of dough when making pizza before and was curious if it would work. I figured this couldn't be too difficult and also not too expensive to go out to get the proper ingredients. It turns out I was right about both of those assumptions. The only thing I wasn't right about was how it would taste.

Maybe I thought it would be more pizza-flavored or maybe the cauliflower smell is a little too powerful for my liking. Whatever happened, the cauliflower pizza idea didn't taste exactly like I had expected. Having used dried Italian dressing, pasta sauce and Italian shredded cheese I thought it would help to make the dish taste more authentic.

I'm curious if anyone else out there has had luck with their cauliflower pizza creations? If so, please comment below or message me as I would really like to have a healthy alternative to pizza. The only other healthy alternative I have heard of is to use zucchinis to make pizza boats. I'm also interested in knowing if anyone out there has been lucky with that idea too. Let me know!

If you're a big cauliflower fan and are interested in trying it out for yourself please see the process and ingredients you'll need below!

Wash and chop your cauliflower.

Put the chopped pieces into a bowl and
out of the way of your cutting board. 

Chop the "tops" off of the previously cut cauliflower and
put aside in another bowl to avoid mixing the two.

Put the chopped "tops" into a food processor.
(If you don't have one use a blender on "Chop" or "Pulse")

Take the processed "tops" and put them in a bowl.
Add 1tsp dried Italian dressing, 2 eggs,1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese and 1/4 tbsp salt then mix.

Spray crockpot then spread the mixture on the bottom.
Be sure to make the mixture higher on the sides to make it deep-dish style. 

Add 1/2 cup pasta sauce.

Add 1/2 cup Italian shredded cheese.

Have the crockpot cook for 2-3 hours on High.
Wait for the pizza to cool for about 30 minutes before digging in.
