Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
Helpful Cooking Tips
- Make sure to cook the rice or grains ahead of time to avoid a soggy bake.
- Cover the dish with foil while baking to keep moisture in, then uncover near the end to brown the cheese.
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 350 degrees F. First, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it looks like rice—just be careful not to overdo it or it will turn mushy. Then, transfer the riced cauliflower to a dry skillet and warm it over low heat to get rid of any extra moisture.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high and cook the ground beef until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the riced cauliflower, tomato sauce, and chopped bell peppers, mixing everything together well.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, then sprinkle a generous amount of Cheddar cheese on top. Pop it in the oven and bake until the cheese turns golden and bubbly, around 45 minutes to an hour. Let it cool a bit before serving and enjoy!
