Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. grass fed butter, plus a bit for greasing your pan
- 1 lb ground red meat (beef, venison bison)
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- ¾ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. Pepper
- 16 oz salsa (about a full jar, use your favorite!)
- 1 can black beans
- 1, 10 oz. bag frozen cauliflower
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 and 1/2 cups grated cheddar or pepper jack cheese (we like raw cheddar)
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips, for serving (we like Siete foods)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish (I use a bit of softened grass fed butter).
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and let it melt and bubble. Then, add the meat and allow it to brown for about 5-7 minutes.
- Then add the chili powder, salt, pepper, salsa, black beans and cauliflower rice to the meat and allow it to cook down for about 8-10 minutes.
- Pour the meat and bean mixture into the bottom of your casserole dish.
- Spread an even layer of your Greek yogurt over the meat and bean mixture. Sprinkle on the tomatoes and green onions. Top with the grated cheddar and pop in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, until it is hot and bubbly.
- Crush some tortilla chips on top and voila! Serve away.
