Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Lean ground beef for less fat
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice Fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Divided for mixing and topping
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz) Or a homemade equivalent
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onion. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the cauliflower rice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the cauliflower starts to soften.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and add the cream of mushroom soup. Stir to combine all the ingredients well and bring to a simmer.
  5. Once everything is well mixed, remove from heat and add half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet, mixing until melted and combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole.
  8. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Allow the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Opt for lean ground beef to reduce fat content. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables for extra flavor and nutrients. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
