Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cauliflower florets, riced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef mixture.
Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, and add the cream cheese. Stir frequently until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, allowing the cheese to melt and create a creamy sauce.
Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
