No reviews

A low-carb alternative to the classic Philly cheesesteak, featuring ground beef, riced cauliflower, and blended cottage cheese for a hearty, cheesy dish.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (blended)
  • 2 cups Riced Cauliflower (sear-dried)
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper (sliced)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the sliced green bell pepper, stirring occasionally. Once cooked through, drain any excess fat.
  2. In a separate dry skillet, add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5–7 minutes until it begins to toast lightly. This step helps to evaporate excess moisture, giving it that perfect texture.
  3. Combine the seared riced cauliflower with the cooked beef and pepper mixture, then fold in the blended cottage cheese until everything is well mixed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, until heated through and slightly bubbly.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat.
  • Blend the cottage cheese until smooth for a creamy texture.
  • Searing the cauliflower removes moisture and enhances flavor.
