Description

Delight in this hearty Savory Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice Casserole—a nutritious, comforting dish perfect for family dinners or busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 3 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or packaged)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (no added salt)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed veggies. Cook until browned while breaking it apart with a spatula, about 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Stir in the riced cauliflower and diced tomatoes until well mixed. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Enjoy hot from the oven! Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch.
