# Method Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

09 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
10 - Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and substantial without the guilt or blood sugar crash afterward.
  • Dinner comes together in under an hour, perfect for weeknight chaos when everyone's hungry right now.
02 -
  • If your cauliflower rice is frozen, thaw it completely and squeeze it dry in a kitchen towel, or the whole casserole becomes watery and separates.
  • Don't skip browning the beef properly; that crust is what keeps it from turning gray and bland.
03 -
  • Shred your own cheese from a block instead of using pre-shredded; it melts smoother and won't have added starches making it clumpy.
  • If the top starts browning too quickly before the inside heats through, tent it with foil for the last few minutes of baking.
