Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 16 oz Cauliflower pre-riced is great!
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning divided
  • 1 15 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
  • Optional: Chopped bell pepper, diced onion, chopped zucchini
  • 1/2 cup chili powder
  • 3 Tablespoons cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon ground pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375º
  2. If you don't have pre-riced cauliflower, first chop the whole cauliflower into florets, then use the grater attachment on a food processor to make rice-like granules.
  3. If using, chop your onion, bell peppers, and/or zucchini. Add 1 Tbsp oil to a pan and saute veggies for about 3 minutes, then add ground beef.
  4. Add 1 Tbsp taco seasoning and mix in well. Cook beef until brown. Add canned tomatoes and additional 1 Tbsp taco seasoning. Stir everything well and heat until tomato sauce begins to simmer.
  5. To save on dishes, crack the 3 eggs straight into a 9x13 baking dish. Whisk the eggs, then add in the riced cauliflower. Mix the eggs into the cauliflower until evenly dispersed.
  6. Add the meat/tomato mixture to the baking dish. Stir everything together until cauliflower and meat are evenly mixed.
  7. Place dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
