LOW-CARB MEXICAN TACO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease an 8" x 8" baking dish or similar size casserole with butter or coconut oil.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and break up into small pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat has browned. Drain if necessary. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned meat and stir in.
• Very lightly saute the cauliflower in a non-stick pan. This will help release any water so it doesn't make the sauce watery. Spread two cups of the riced cauliflower in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Sprinkle half of the spiced meat over the riced cauliflower.
• Top the meat with 1 ounce (about 1/4 cup packed) of the cheddar cheese.
• Layer the last two cups of cauliflower over the cheddar cheese.
• Spread the rest of the spiced meat over the cauliflower. Set aside.
• Pour the cream into a 1 1/2 quart heavy saucepan. Add 4 ounces (about 1 cup packed) of the grated cheese (this leaves one ounce (about 1/4 cup packed) for later). Put saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Heat cream and cheese, stirring frequently, until cheese has melted. Stir in the salsa. Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer gently until mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon.
• Taste sauce and add sea salt and black pepper if desired. Pour sauce over the contents of the baking dish.
• Top with the remaining ounce of cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese has melted and contents are bubbly in the center.
