Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble the texture of rice. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Set these aside for later use.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until it is browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced bell pepper, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut aminos and mix well, then add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving to add a fresh, bright flavor.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Savory Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice.
