Description
A healthy and filling one-pan dish featuring cauliflower rice and ground beef, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 12 oz riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup sliced bell pepper (fresh or frozen)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
- Salt, as needed
- Chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. As the beef begins to brown, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the riced cauliflower and sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes and sprinkle in the ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together, making sure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top just before serving. Squeeze lime juice over the finished dish if desired.
