Instructions
Creating this delicious Keto Taco Casserole is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Season: Add the diced tomatoes (with juices) and taco seasoning to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Incorporate Cauliflower Rice: Add the cauliflower rice to the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Layer Casserole: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the meat mixture evenly across the bottom.
7. Add Sour Cream: Spoon half of the sour cream over the meat mixture, spreading it evenly.
8. Repeat Layers: Add the remaining meat mixture on top of the sour cream, followed by the rest of the sour cream.
9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
10. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with shredded lettuce, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro before serving.
