Description

Once again, we’re using riced cauliflower here. This meal is so insanely simple and so good we predict it will come to your rescue countless times as the years go by. Just two main ingredients: riced veggies and ground meat . . . it comes together in minutes! If you are lucky enough to have leftovers it is great as the next day’s lunch or makes a yummy hash to go with eggs for breakfast. (See Recipe Notes area.) This recipe is found in the "Speedy Skillet Meals" section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook, page 64. This recipe is a family-serve recipe that feeds 6 to 8 people.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground meat (any kind)
20 oz frozen riced veggies (2 or three- 10 to 12 oz bags frozen riced veggies; known as cauliflower medley, please see Recipe Notes below)
2 1/2 tsp creole seasoning (we use MSG-free Tony Chachere's)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated; the green can is fine)
crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1
Brown the meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain the excess fat if needed.
2
Add the veggies, Creole seasoning, cream, and Parmesan and stir until well combined. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, uncovering to stir periodically. Uncover and shake in some pepper flakes to taste. Taste test to check that the veggies are tender and if not, cook for a couple more minutes. Taste again to “own it” with your seasonings, then serve.

Note

MAKE A FAMILY MEAL

For the weight-loss plan, simply put it in a bowl and top with a little cheese if desired or put it inside any on-plan, S-friendly wrap or pita. Side salads are always welcome.
For growing children who need Crossovers—ours love this stuffed into buttered whole-grain pitas with grated cheese. They’re the ones that named it “Good Grub.”

Serving Suggestions for the Riced Veggies:

This recipe calls for two bags of the riced veggies (commonly called cauliflower medley, which is simply riced cauliflower with a few peas and finely diced carrots added), but you can even add a third bag to the skillet (we do) if you want to get in more veggie power or stretch out the meal to feed a larger crowd. Just go a little heavier on the seasonings to balance it out. If you don’t live in the United States and can’t find frozen bags of riced veggies, go to page 36 to find out how to make your own.
