Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ pounds cauliflower, cut into chunks
2 pounds ground beef
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 medium bell peppers, diced
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place cauliflower in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until it resembles rice grains. Don't process too much or it will get mushy. Transfer to a dry skillet and heat over low heat to cook out any moisture.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add riced cauliflower, tomato sauce, and bell peppers to the meat; mix to combine. Transfer mixture to a casserole dish and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
1 onion chopped
1 large green bell pepper chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp dried dill
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup rice uncooked
1 cup chicken broth low sodium
14.5 oz diced tomatoes (1 can including juice)
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
sour cream for serving optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and ground beef; brown and crumble the meat. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink.
  • Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, dill and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the rice to the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth and the diced tomatoes, including the juice. With the heat on medium, continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the rice cooks through and absorbs all the liquid.
  • Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese and garnish with parsley. Within a couple minutes the cheese should melt on top. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream.
