This cauliflower and ground beef hash is an easy low carb dinner that you can fit in any night of the week. And, boy, does it fill you up!
When my husband is low carbing, easy go-to meals are a must for those days when you’re just too busy to fuss over dinner. This is one of those meals. It’s a no-fuss dish made with ground beef, cauliflower and lots of ooey gooey cheddar cheese. But the good thing is that you can dress it up or down depending on what you have in your pantry and fridge.
Toss in some jalapenos to spice it up. Add bacon, sour cream and green onions, and it’s a lot like a loaded baked potato (without all those bad carbs).

Easy, delicious and healthier weekday dinner! Used cauliflower rice instead of florets and ground turkey instead of beef. I did add a little chopped onion and frozen broccoli florets that I had left over as well as about 1/3 cup heavy cream (we’re keto). So good!!

This was spectacular! I used ground venison because I have a ton of it in my freezer and added sour cream and bacon bits. Just like a loaded baked potato! Thank you for sharing!

Hello. I’ve made this one other time but don’t remember what I did. If using frozen riced cauliflower, does it need cooked first or does it cook fully since the instructions say stir until tender?
Thanks!

When I use the frozen riced cauliflower, I just toss is in there frozen after the beef is drained and heat it through. I do let it sit out while I cook the beef and break apart any big chunks by mashing the bag in my hands before adding it, though. Hope that helps!

Thank you this was delicious and so easy to prepare in my Ninja Foodi. I added a sprinkle of bacon and chive seasoning . Great suggestion to add sour cream. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Rock on!

You noted to add bacon, sour cream and green onions to make it taste like a loaded baked potato. Do you add these items to the beef mixture or just on top when serving.
