Ingredients

Cook Mode Cooking Mode Disabled

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 
  1 lb. lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken (thawed if frozen)
• 
  8 oz cauliflower rice
• 
  ¹⁄₂ Tbs Worchestershire sause
• 
  1 - 2 Tbs soy sauce (or 1-2 squirts Bragg Liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos)
• 
  ¹⁄₄ tsp TH Mineral Salt
• 
  ¹⁄₂ tsp black pepper
• 
  ¹⁄₂ tsp onion powder
• 
  ¹⁄₂ tsp garlic powder
• 
  cayenne pepper (to taste; optional)
• 
  1 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
• 
  2 bell peppers (green bell peppers, roughly chopped or sliced, 1/2 a large onion or 1 small onion, finely chopped; optional; only use if all family members are onion lovers)
• 
  14 ¹⁄₂ oz diced tomatoes (one 14 1/2 ounce can)
• 
  1 cup sugar-free spaghetti sauce (or sugar-free pizza sauce; we use the Great Value brand)
• 
  4 oz cheddar cheese (grated; optional can leave off if dairy sensitive)

Instructions

1. Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease, then add the konjac rice or caulit rice. Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), and nutritional yeast (if using). Toss well, increase the heat to high, and cook the rice with the beef for several minutes, tossing frequently.

2. Add the bell peppers and onion (if using) and sauté for another 8 to 10 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and pizza sauce, toss well, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes. Top with the cheddar, cover for another 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese, and you are ready to serve.

Note

MAKE A FAMILY MEAL: For the weight-loss plan, enjoy with a side salad with an oil/vinegar or creamy dressing, and if desired a non-starchy veggie like steamed buttered broccoli. Family members needing Crossovers need a carb side like brown rice with the meal or perhaps fruit to end the meal.

Other Notes- Rice Options: If not using Cauli-Rice, you may use konjac rice for another rice option.
