Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 12 ounces cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 medium red or orange pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oil and brown beef: In a large 12-inch skillet set over medium heat, heat the avocado oil until hot. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, breaking up the beef with the back of a wooden spoon, until nicely browned.
  2. Add vegetables and simmer: Stir in the cauliflower rice, chopped green and red/orange peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and water until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Top with cheese and melt: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the skillet contents and cover with a lid. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen cauliflower rice based on availability; both work well.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste if you prefer less or more heat.
  • Covering the skillet after adding cheese helps melt it evenly and quickly.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding more red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne.
  • This skillet meal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
