KETO ITALIAN GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE RECIPE

Sometimes my recipe inspiration comes from gourmet magazines, sometimes it comes from a restaurant menu.

I resisted the urge to top this baby off with some sort of upscale Italian cheese. Nope, what this casserole needed was a basic cheddar or cheddar blend. It’s all about being kid-friendly.

Enjoy this amazing recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound cauliflower chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 ounces white onion diced
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• 1 1/2 cup cheddar or Mexican blend cheese finely shredded, quantity divided

Instructions

• Spray an 8" X 8" baking dish with a non-stick spray.
• Place 1 1/2–2 inches of water in the lower part of a steamer. Bring water to a simmer. Place cauliflower in the upper part of the steamer, cover, and fit the upper part of the steamer over the simmering water. Steam cauliflower until tender — about 10–12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the outside of the beef is browned. Drain if desired.
• Add onions to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the onions are tender. Turn heat to medium. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the tomato sauce. Add the basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
• Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. When mixture comes to a simmer, stir in reserved cauliflower and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
• When cheese has melted and cauliflower has reheated, taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer the mixture to the prepared 8 X 8 baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese over the top.
• Preheat broiler. Place the casserole under the broiler until cheese has melted as desired. Allow cooling slightly before serving.
