Make this quick, one-pan keto meal featuring creamy taco-seasoned ground beef and cauliflower rice. It is a satisfying, low-carb dinner ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) low-carb taco seasoning
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook, breaking up the meat, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir the taco seasoning into the beef mixture. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubed cream cheese and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the frozen cauliflower rice. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is heated through.
  5. Remove the lid and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the cream cheese with a keto-friendly dairy-free cream cheese alternative and use full-fat canned coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the taco seasoning.
