Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 pound ground beef (try to keep it lean, folks!)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, because it’s the best—no arguments!)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (because we’re keeping it keto, people!)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (if you’re feeling fancy)
Instructions to Deliciousness:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you hum your favorite tune to set a cooking vibe.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions until they are translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary—no one wants a greasy casserole!
- Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let that mixture dance together for about 5 minutes; we want those flavors to mingle!
- In a separate bowl, mix the cooked ground beef mixture with the cauliflower rice. Make sure it’s all well combined; teamwork makes the dream work!
- Transfer the hearty mixture into a greased baking dish. Don’t forget to spread it evenly—this isn’t a chaotic potluck!
- Top the casserole with shredded cheese. Yes, please! Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Once it’s done, take that beauty out of the oven (oh, the aroma!), sprinkle it with fresh cilantro, and let it cool for a minute—patience is a virtue!
- Serve hot and watch as your family dives in, questioning how something so yummy can also be so healthy.
