Description

This delicious cauliflower rice casserole is a hearty and satisfying dish perfect for a family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 lb. mushrooms, washed, drained dry, and cut into quarters
  • 1 onion, chopped small
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 tsp. steak seasoning
  • salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated Mozzarella
  • 1 tsp. Better Than Bouillon Beef Base mixed with 1/4 cup water, reduced to 1 tablespoon thick stock
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. steak seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a large glass or ceramic casserole dish with non-stick spray or brush with a little olive oil.
  2. Mix the Better Than Bouillon Beef Base with 1/4 cup water; then simmer the mixture until it’s reduced to 1 tablespoon thick stock. Let it cool.
  3. Heat a couple of teaspoons olive oil in a large heavy frying pan and cook the beef over medium-high heat until completely browned, breaking apart as it cooks. Put browned beef in the casserole dish.
  4. Wash mushrooms and let them drain well.
  5. Chop the cauliflower and pulse in the food processor to make cauliflower rice.
  6. Cut drained mushrooms into quarters. Cook mushrooms until they have lost their liquid and are slightly browned, then put them in the casserole dish.
  7. Mix sour cream and mayo, then add the cooled and reduced stock and stir together.
  8. Chop onion into small pieces. Heat more oil in the frying pan if needed, add onions, and cook until softened and starting to brown.
  9. Add cauliflower rice, 1 tsp. steak seasoning, salt, and pepper to the frying pan. Cook until cauliflower is partly cooked and some liquid has evaporated.
  10. Add the onion-cauliflower rice mixture to the casserole dish and gently combine all ingredients.
  11. Mix 1 cup grated Mozzarella, Parmesan, and 1/2 tsp. steak seasoning into the mayo-sour cream mixture.
  12. Gently mix the sauce into the casserole dish, patting it down when well combined.
  13. Top the casserole with 1 cup (or more) grated Mozzarella.
  14. Bake casserole for 30-40 minutes or until bubbling hot and the top is lightly browned.
  15. Serve hot. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for at least a week.
