I was looking for something quick, easy, and with minimal cleaning required. This Ground Beef Casserole was a great option! I found this recipe from EatingWell. It’s intended to have some kick to it, but I opted to cut most of those out. You’ll see my substitutions below!

This was very easy to make. I only wish there was more! Items with an * were omitted in my version and any replacements will be in parenthesis.

Ingredient List:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cups cauliflower florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp chili powder* (2 tbsp paprika)
• 2 tsp ground cumin*
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground chipotle*
• 15 oz no-salt-added petite-diced tomatoes
• 2 cups extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/3 cup sliced pickled jalapeños*

Recipe Directions:

1. Preheat broiler to high
2. Heat oil in a broiler-safe skillet over medium-high heat
3. Add onion and bell pepper cooking until softened, about 5 minutes
4. Add beef and cauliflower, cooking until beef is no loner pink, breaking into smaller peices. About 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in garlic, chili powder* (paprika), cumin*, oregano, salt, and chipotle*, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute
6. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook until cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat
