Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Base and Toppings
- 3 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Layer Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread the cauliflower rice evenly on the bottom. Top the cauliflower rice with the seasoned ground beef, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake Until Bubbly: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can add diced onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños to the beef for extra flavor.
- Use full-fat cheese for creamier texture and best melting results.
- Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or fresh salsa for additional toppings.
- Cauliflower rice can be found pre-made in most grocery stores or made at home by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor.
