Description

Beef and Cauliflower Rice Casserole is a hearty low-carb dish featuring seasoned ground beef combined with tender cauliflower rice and topped with melted cheddar cheese, all baked to create a comforting and nutritious main course perfect for those seeking a healthy, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cauliflower & Topping

  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole later.
  2. Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Cook Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet; cook thoroughly until browned and no longer pink, draining any excess fat if necessary for a leaner dish.
  5. Season and Combine: Stir in tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the beef. Mix well for even flavor distribution.
  6. Add Cauliflower Rice: Incorporate the cauliflower rice into the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until it becomes slightly tender but not mushy.
  7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Move the entire mixture into a prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef and cauliflower mixture.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and golden in spots.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot for a comforting, low-carb meal.
