Ingredients
2 lbs ground beef (85/15)
4 large bell peppers, diced
2 cups cauliflower rice
1 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
2 cups cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Dried oregano to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dice the bell peppers and onions into one-inch bite-sized pieces.
Brown the ground beef in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until completely cooked.
Drain the excess grease from the pan.
Add the diced peppers, onions, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and sauté for five minutes until the peppers are soft.
Stir in the cauliflower rice and sugar-free tomato sauce.
Season the mixture liberally with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Spread the mixture into an even layer in the skillet or transfer to a casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the surface, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Notes
Use a mix of colored bell peppers for a better visual appeal and flavor profile. Freshly shredded cheese is recommended as pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that may contain carbs and prevent smooth melting. You can substitute the beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.
