Ingredients
10 ounces Frozen Cauliflower Rice
2–3 Tablespoons Oil
2 Lbs Ground Beef
1 Small Red Bell Pepper – seeded and chopped
1 Small White Onion – chopped
4 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
½ Cup Water

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen cauliflower rice and sauté until tender and lightly browned. Transfer to a greased 2-quart casserole dish and spread into an even layer.
In the same skillet, brown the ground beef with chopped red bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in taco seasoning, tomato paste, and water. Cook until the liquid reduces and thickens.
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the cauliflower rice layer.
Top with 3 cups shredded Colby/Jack cheese. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Spread sour cream over the top, then garnish with additional cheese and your favorite toppings before serving.

For extra spice, use hot taco seasoning or add diced green chilies.
Make it dairy-free by using dairy-free cheese and sour cream alternatives.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
