Description

Beef and Cauliflower Rice Casserole is a hearty low-carb dish made with seasoned ground beef, cauliflower rice, and melted cheese. It is a comforting and satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights, combining savory flavors and a cheesy topping for an easy, delicious dinner.

Ingredients

Beef and Vegetable Mixture

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

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent to build flavor.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up to ensure even cooking and no large clumps remain.
  4. Add Seasonings and Sauce: Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine all flavors thoroughly.
  5. Incorporate Cauliflower Rice: Mix the cauliflower rice into the beef mixture and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to soften and blend the ingredients.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform baking.
  7. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture to create a flavorful, melty crust.
  8. Bake the Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use mozzarella instead of cheddar cheese if preferred for a milder, stretchier topping.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
