This paleo pizza casserole is seriously to die for! The creamy cashew cream combined with the cassava flour gluten free noodles, ground beef and turkey pepperoni is seriously to die for! This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and is something the whole family can eat.

Paleo pizza casserole ingredients: 

  • Cassava flour noodles-I love Jovial, but any kind of gluten free noodle will work!
  • Ground beef-I like using Butcher Box. Every month they send me a shipment of my favorite grass fed meats and sustainable seafoods. It is the best quality! If you use my link HERE you can get free bacon for life. 
  • Yellow onion and garlic-To give the beef flavor.
  • Ghee-To saute the onion and garlic in.
  • Red sauce-I like Rao’s.
  • Turkey pepperoni-I am obsessed with Applegate’s turkey pepperoni.

For the cashew cheese:

  • Cashews-Soaked in water to make them nice and soft. This will make it easier to turn them into a cream.
  • Lemon, garlic and salt-For taste.
  • Olive oil-My go to oil of choice. You can use avocado oil but it may change the flavor of the vegan cashew cheese.

Optional dairy free ranch:

  • Avocado mayo-This is the base. 
  • Dill, garlic powder and onion powder-For flavor.

step by step how to make the beef in the casserole

How to make:

  • First, preheat the oven to 350. 
  • Next, make the noodles according to the instructions on the box minus 2 minutes. They will continue to cook in the oven so you do not want them well done. 
  • Now, cook the beef. First, add the ghee to a pan with the garlic and onion. Sautee for 2 minutes then add the beef to the pan and cook until it is no longer pink.

For the dairy free cheese sauce:

  • Drain the cashews and add all ingredients to your food processor and blend until smooth. 
  • To assemble, place all ingredients in a casserole dish, mix and bake for 30 minutes.

How should I reheat this? 

  • I always suggest reheating in the oven rather than the microwave, it tastes better this way! I suggest reheating in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes.

What should I serve this with?

This casserole is good by itself but you can also serve it with sides. A few of my favorites are:

  • Bacon brussel sprouts
  • Instant pot zucchini 
  • Bacon wrapped asparagus

    This was delicious! My family (even the picky 10 yr old) commented how good this was. I’ll definitely be making this again.

Hi, I’m Allianna. In my junior year of college I turned to Sarah Ballantyne’s Paleo Protocol and it saved my life. During that time I completely shifted and started to manage my autoimmune disease with food and lifestyle. Since then I have made it my mission to share my clean and real food recipes with you. On Allianna’s Kitchen you can expect to find paleo, Whole30, and AIP recipes as well as things I have learned along the way as my body has healed. I’m so excited to have you here.
