Delicious easy low carb high protein meals recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (90/10 recommended)
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Diced Tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup Cauliflower Rice
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Step 2: Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Step 3: Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained) and chili powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Step 4: Add cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef and tomato mixture. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately. Optional: Top with a dollop of sour cream or avocado for extra flavor and healthy fats.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
  • Serve this hearty skillet meal as a complete low-carb dinner, or use it as a filling base for lettuce wraps for an extra-easy weeknight option.
  • To boost the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika along with the chili powder for a deeper, more complex taste.
