Bacon Burger Cauliflower Rice Casserole

Bacon Burger Cauliflower Rice Casserole

An easy, low carb, grain free casserole with paleo option.

Bacon Burger Cauliflower Rice Casserole is super easy to make, very low in carbs, with a paleo (dairy free) version. Oh my, this was some serious bacon cheeseburger goodness! My son did not know it was cauliflower rice in this dish. He thought it was actual rice. The whole family loved this recipe and fortunately, it was an easy one to make!

If you have a large cast iron skillet, then you could make this dish all in one pan. I did not have a pan that can go from stove-top to the oven, so I used a casserole dish. I would use a cast iron skillet, but I have a glass stovetop and I fear I would break it or scratch it with a heavy pan.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cauliflower, riced
• 1 lb ground beef
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 8 ounces  tomato sauce or puree, (make sure tomatoes are the only ingredients, Pomi brand is best)
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp celery seed
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ cup grated cheese *optional, omit for paleo

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven to 400 F, and grease or oil a 2.5-quart casserole dish.
2. In a food processor or blender, grind cauliflower florets into a rice texture. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet pan over medium-high combine and brown: 1 lb ground beef, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp sea salt, ¼ tsp celery seed, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Stir and cook until browned (do not drain beef).
4. Add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 3 cups cauliflower rice to the ground beef skillet. Stir and continue cooking over medium to medium-high heat for 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Carefully spoon or dump all ingredients from the skillet into the casserole dish. Spread around casserole dish evenly.
6. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with bacon crumbles and optional cheese. Place sliced tomatoes on top, and bake for 20 mins. Remove from oven and serve.
