Today’s recipe is the epitome of comfort food.
I’ve been missing this casserole that I used to eat all the time before I went on a low carb diet. It’s a scalloped potato recipe that I’ve remade as a daikon radish recipe. If you’re unfamiliar with the daikon radish, now would be a good time to introduce you.
It looks like this:
Daikon radishes are pretty underrated as tubers go, but they have a good sized following in low carb circles.
They’ve got a very subtle flavor that is somewhere between a potato and a radish. This makes them an excellent stand in for potatoes, especially in a casserole like this one. If you can’t find daikon radishes in your local store, then normal radishes would make a good substitution. Most of the flavor in this casserole is going to come from the ground beef, shallots and cheese. But the radishes really tie the casserole together.
They make the perfect backdrop for this comforting winter meal.

Are there REALLY 124 g of Carbohydrates in each serving (and no fiber)? That is a bit too carby for my eating plan, though it sounds delicious.
EmilyKrill says
No, that was a typo. It actually has 12g carbs and 4g fiber. Thanks for catching that!
Holly says
They weren’t as good as real potatoes, but I did like them. They still taste a little bit like radishes though.
