Ingredients
For the Casserole:
  • 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
For the large batch taco seasoning:
  • 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
Instructions

  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.
Recipe Notes

For future use, when cooking 1 lb ground beef, add 2 Tbsp taco seasonings. Taco Tuesday made easy!
