Make a quick, one-pan keto dinner featuring seasoned ground meat, cauliflower rice, and a rich, creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) keto-friendly taco seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubed cream cheese and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the cream cheese has melted completely and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the frozen cauliflower rice. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender.
  7. Remove the lid, stir well, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cook uncovered for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, use slightly less chicken broth initially.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of diced green chilies with the meat.
