Description

Ultimate Low Carb Taco Casserole Recipe with Cheesy Goodness

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces Frozen Cauliflower Rice
  • 2–3 Tablespoons Oil
  • 2 Lbs Ground Beef
  • 1 Small Red Bell Pepper – seeded chopped
  • 1 Small White Onion – chopped
  • 4 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 3 Cups Shredded Colby/Jack Cheese
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • Toppings:
  • Chopped Lettuce
  • Chopped Tomato
  • Sliced Black Olives
  • Avocado/Guac
  • Cilantro
  • Sliced Jalapeno
  • Salsa – Hot Sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and cook the frozen cauliflower rice according to package directions. Drain thoroughly and set aside—getting excess moisture out prevents a watery casserole.
  2. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and develop light golden edges.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is completely browned and no pink remains.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato paste, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the water and mix everything together until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  5. Fold the cooked cauliflower rice into the beef mixture, stirring gently to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Mix in the sour cream until everything is evenly coated, then top with the shredded Colby/Jack cheese in an even layer.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve hot with your choice of fresh toppings arranged in small bowls.
