- Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

Notes
For the cauliflower rice, this dish is made extra easy by using the frozen 'steam in bag' cauliflower rice you find in the freezer section.
For the green beans, you could also use the 'steam in bag' frozen green beans rather than fresh. Alternately, canned green beans will work fine, but do not cook them before adding to the casserole.
