Low Carb Hamburger Casserole
Description
The Low Carb Hamburger Casserole brings together steamed cauliflower florets with ground beef cooked alongside diced onion and spiced with taco seasoning. This mixture is assembled in a baking dish, layered with shredded sharp cheddar or Mexican blend cheese, then baked until the cheese melts and fuses all ingredients. The cauliflower provides a soft texture contrasting with the spiced meat, while the cheese topping adds a smooth, golden finish. It’s a practical dish for those lowering carbohydrate intake, as cauliflower replaces more carb-heavy ingredients commonly found in casseroles. Baking allows flavors to meld and delivers a warm, comforting casserole that holds well as leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef grass-fed
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cauliflower cut in to florets and steamed, large head
- taco seasoning mix 6 tablespoons
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded, or Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Lightly spray a 9 x 11 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Steam cauliflower florets for about 5 minutes or until desired tenderness. Make sure that the cauliflower isn't too wet from the steam. Blot with paper towels if necessary and add to the prepared casserole dish.
- Heat oil In a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and break up with a spoon until cooked (3-5 minutes). Drain most oil (if your meat is oily, leaving about 1 tablespoon) Sprinkle taco seasoning mix over the beef mix until coated. Add beef to casserole dish and fold together with the cauliflower. Top with cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
