Taco Casserole

About Taco Casserole


This is a low carb take on my childhood favorite! Whether I make my mom’s traditional recipe or my low carb version, I NEVER have leftovers! It’s a creamy mac and cheese base topped with taco meat. It’s a great meal to make a double portion and share with friends or stash in the freezer for an easy emergency meal.

Cook this recipe in these simple steps

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Stir occasionally to break up
meat into small pieces. Strain excess fat.
Step 2
Place cauliflower in a baking dish (8in x 8in for 4 servings or less, 13in x 9in for 5 servings or more). Add heavy cream, cheddar (reserve 1/2 cup for topping), cream cheese (cut into small hunks), 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Move to oven to bake for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper, 1⁄2 tsp salt and water to browned ground beef. Reduce to medium-low heat to bring to a simmer. Simmer for 7 minutes.
Step 4
After cauliflower has baked for 10 minutes, stir to combine melted ingredients. Top with taco meat and remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Move back to oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese on top begins to brown.
Step 5
While casserole bakes, toss salad mix, caesar dressing, parmesan cheese and remaining ground black pepper in a large salad bowl.

Dinner is served!
