Cauliflower ground beef

Guest

Delicious except I used ground turkey

alenatrs

Sound like an even healthier version ;) I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this skillet! - Alena

Great one skillet meal!

Guest

I made it per recipe except used ground bison, which is really lean, so added a bit of avocado oil. Also, used Tatooed Chef frozen cauliflower stir-fry from Costco. It's what I had on hand. Satisfying, keto friendly meal. Really loved the seasonings. I might add some black olives next time. Very flexible recipe. Reheated some leftovers for lunch and topped with lightly fried eggs (per previous comment), shredded cheddar, a few dashes of Cholula hot sauce and the cilantro. Yum!

alenatrs

Great Recipe

Guest

I really loved this recipe! I added more cayenne pepper and it was perfect. Question: what is the measurement for 1 serving?

alenatrs

Glad to hear you liked this cauli and ground beef skillet! The serving sizes I use are approximate, for this recipe I'd say probably about 2 cups per serving. - Alena

Cauliflower rice & hamburger

Guest

Great recipe! Added chopped celery & a smidgen of zucchini. I’ll try shredding 1/2cup zucchini & add it next time. Definitely will use riced cauliflower from the garden. Can’t use anything newly preserved until after 1st snow fall🙂

alenatrs

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! I bet this cauli and beef skillet tastes even better with cauliflower from the garden ;) - Alena

Very good one pan meal

Guest

My husband and I enjoyed this. He wants me to add more ‘heat’ to it next time, but the key is that there will be a next time.

alenatrs

That is awesome, thanks for your good feedback! - Alena

Good as a burrito stuffer

Guest

I add some celery, corn kernels, and jalapeño along with some taco seasoning. Wrap it up in a tortilla with a dab of sour cream for a quick burrito that my family loved.

alenatrs

Interesting idea, thanks for sharing! - Alena

Guest

Made this with ground moose burger! Spectacular recipe 👏

alenatrs

Thank you! I haven't tried this with ground moose :) - Alena

One can diced tomatoes...

Guest

What sized can? I mean, canned tomato is not a one size thing.

alenatrs

I used the 14.5 oz one. - Alena

Awesome

This meal was delicious like a taco salad without the lettuce in a bowl.
