Cheesy Low Carb Taco Casserole by

Tags: Casserole

Ingredients

1 can diced tomatoes
1 can diced green chiles
1 medium-large onion, chopped small
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 lb. cauliflower (purred in blender)
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1 lb. ground beef
1 Tablespoon Taco Seasoning Mix
1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
2 cups + 1 cup grated Mexican Blend Cheese (Use less cheese if you prefer; we wanted it cheesy!)

Instructions

1. Dump the tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let them drain while you prep other ingredients.

2. Heat oven to 375F/190C and spray a large casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

2. Chop the onion, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan, and cook onion until it’s cooked through and starting to get some color.

3. Add the cauliflower puree and cook over medium-high heat until the moisture in the cauliflower has mostly evaporated and there’s no water in the bottom of the pan, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Turn off heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl.

5. Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, add the ground beef, and cook until it’s browned, breaking apart with a turner as it cooks. Add the Taco Seasoning and cook 1-2 minutes more, then add the drained Tomatoes and cook another minute or two.

6. Stir in the cauliflower puree, season with salt to taste, and cook until it’s heated through.

7. Turn off heat and stir in 2 cups grated Mexican blend cheese.

8. Transfer mixture to the casserole dish and top with another cup of grated Mexican Blend.

9. Bake about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling hot and cheese is nicely browned on top.

10. Serve hot, with things like salsa, Green Tabasco Sauce, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, or chopped avocado to add at the table as desired.
