Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 chopped green bell pepper
- 2 medium, diced zucchini
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 14.5 ounces, canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped green bell pepper and diced zucchini, cooking for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Mix in the cauliflower rice and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13 inch (approx 23x33 cm) casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
