    Ingredients

    • 1 pound ground beef

    • 1 packet taco seasoning

    • 2 cups cauliflower rice

    • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

    • 1 cup salsa

    • 0.5 cup sour cream

    • 1 large bell pepper, chopped

    • 0.5 medium onion, chopped

    • 0.25 cup sliced black olives

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish with a little oil or non-stick spray.
    • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
    • Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, mixing well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
    • Add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
    • Stir in the cauliflower rice and salsa, mixing everything together until well combined and heated through.
    • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole mixture in the dish.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.
    • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with sour cream and sliced black olives on top.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
