This Low-Carb Taco Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines seasoned ground beef, cauliflower rice, and melted cheese to create a guilt-free comfort meal perfect for taco lovers looking to cut carbs without sacrificing flavor.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
