Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • ½ small onion diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 ounces frozen cauliflower rice
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons cracked pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • Minced parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the ground beef to a 12 inch skillet over medium heat and crumble beef as it cooks.
  • Once the beef is partially crumbled and beginning to brown, stir in the onion, peppers, and garlic. Continue cooking until beef is browned and vegetables are beginning to get tender, about 6 minutes. Drain the grease from the skillet if desired
  • Add ½ cup of water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the frozen cauliflower rice, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Continue cooking uncovered, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are mostly tender. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Remove from the heat, sprinkle the mozzarella over the top, and cover the pot. Let sit for 5 minutes to melt the cheese and finish off the veggies.
  • Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Notes

We like to use 90/10 lean beef. We do not drain the grease from the skillet.
You can use any color of bell peppers that you like. A medium green bell pepper has 6 total carbs and a medium red bell pepper has 7 total carbs, so the difference is pretty minimal.
