Description
A cheesy and satisfying keto ground beef casserole that makes for a perfect meal option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned, drained)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a separate pot, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain and chop coarsely.
- In a large bowl, mix the heavy cream, cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese until smooth.
- Combine the beef mixture with the cauliflower, then pour the cheese mixture over everything, mixing well.
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let it sit for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, bake with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Serve with a side of creamy avocado salad.
- For a meat variation, use ground turkey or sausage instead of beef.
- Enjoy with pork rinds or celery sticks for added crunch!
