Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Italian sausage
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Bell pepper, chopped
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing well with the sausage and vegetables. Season with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Remove the skillet from heat and fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 0.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb sausage and rice casserole.
