Cheesy Taco Bake, Low Carb THM S

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 1 Medium Onion diced
  • 2 t Minced Garlic
  • 12 oz Package of Frozen Cauli Rice heated up in microwave
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes with Green chilies
  • 1 T Chili Powder
  • 1 t Ground Cumin
  • 1 t Salt
  • 1/2 t Pepper
  • 1/2 t Onion Powder
  • 1/2 t Garlic Powder
  • 1 8 oz Brick 1/3 Less Fat Cheese softened (you can use regular if you want)
  • 8 oz Cheese shredded Cheddar, Monterrey Jack, Pepper Jack Your Pick

Instructions

  • If you are eating it the day you make it, you won’t need another dish to put it in. If you making this as part of meal prep, make everything up to sprinkling it on cheese.
  • Get out a large skillet, put on stove top over medium heat. Add hamburger meat and start browning the meat. Add the onion and garlic. Continue to stir and brown the meat. Add the cauli rice, canned tomatoes and seasonings. The longer you can cook your meat mix with the cauli rice and seasonings, the more the rice takes on those flavors. I suggest about 15 minutes. You can add some water is your skillet gets too dry.
  • Once the cauli rice is cooked through and the liquid is gone, add the cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and mixed in. Add 1/2 C Shredded cheese and stir. Top with desired toppings. Serve hot.
  • If this is part of meal prep, add the contents of the skillet into the 9X13 baking dish. Cover and store in fridge.
  • The day you want to bake this, remove from fridge and heat the oven 350 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the rest of the cheese and desired toppings and put back in the oven until hot and bubbly.
  • Serve with desired sides and serve hot.
