Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Meat:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until browned and cooked through. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and cauliflower rice. If using bell peppers and olives, add them now.
- Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, until everything is well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Transfer the beef mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
- Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the beef mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the sour cream layer.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
- If desired, you can broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a golden brown top.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve your Keto Taco Casserole warm, and enjoy this comforting, low-carb meal!
Feel free to customize the casserole with other keto-friendly ingredients like avocado or a dollop of guacamole. This recipe is versatile and great for meal prep too!
