CREAMY BEEF & RICE CASSEROLE (PALEO, WHOLE30, KETO)



Creamy Beef & Rice Casserole (Paleo, Whole30, Keto) image

A rich and decadent casserole with spiced beef, cauliflower rice and a creamy sauce! The top crust is made of toasted pecans and bacon! Yum!

Provided by Cristina Curp

Categories     entree

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2lbs 92% lean grass-fed ground beef ( I use Butcher Box)
2 tbsp cooking fat
24oz riced cauliflower, thawed and strained (I used Whole Foods Market Brand)
2 cups baby spinach
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup diced onion
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup cashew creamer (recipe link above)
6 slices Pederson's Farm Whole30 Compliant Bacon
1 cup whole pecans

Steps:

  • In a large pot or deep skillet (at least 12″) heat 2 tbsp of fat on high heat (I used coconut oil).
  • Add in the ground beef, stir, breaking up with spatula until crumbly.
  • Add in the onion, salt and pepper. Stir well.
  • Saute for 8 minutes, add in the baby spinach and stir well.
  • Cook, stirring often until the spinach is wilted & liquid is evaporated.
  • Add in the cauliflower rice. Stir well.
  • Add in the thyme leaves from your sprigs and the rest of the seasonings.
  • Stir often, still on high heat until well combined.
  • Make sure any fluid the cauliflower released is evaporated.
  • Mix in the cashew milk. Stir a few times and take it off the heat.
  • If you are using store-bought nut-milk or canned coconut milk you will need to cook it down until it's creamy. My homemade cashew cream thickens when it cooks so it's perfect for this. I really suggest you make it.
  • Get your casserole dish out. Add the whole mix to your casserole dish, spread out and flatten with a wooden spoon.
  • Chop up the bacon and distribute it evenly over the top.
  • Rough chop the pecans and do the same.
  • Pop it in the oven, then set it to 400F. Bake until the oven reaches temperature, and then another 10-15 minutes. When the bacon is crispy and the pecans are toasted, it's ready!
  • Serve hot! This baby is a whole meal in one... but some greens would look lovely next to it!

CREAMY BEEF & RICE CASSEROLE



Creamy Beef & Rice Casserole image

This is an easy, quick and inexpensive one-skillet meal that you can easily change up to suit your family's taste, or to use up items in your freezer/pantry.

Provided by Faux Chef Lael

Categories     White Rice

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped (white or yellow)
1 cup carrot, sliced thin
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 (1 1/2 ounce) packet brown gravy mix (about 3 tablespoons)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet onion soup mix
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice (NOT minute rice)
4 cups hot water
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • In a deep skillet (with a lid), saute the onions and carrots in the olive oil about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook mixture until beef is browned. Drain any excess fat/liquid off the pan.
  • Sprinkle brown gravy dry mix, onion soup mix, soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic salt and pepper over the beef mixture and stir well.
  • Add 4 cups of hot water and rice to the mixture, stir well. Turn heat down to medium low, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Depending on the kind of rice you use and your altitude, you may need to cook it a little longer and adjust the water accordingly. Rice should be firm but not crunchy.).
  • When liquid is nearly gone and rice is done, stir in cream of mushroom soup. Heat 5 more minutes with the lid on.
  • TIPS: For an Oriental flair, try adding thinly sliced celery and water chestnuts when you saute the onions and carrots. Or for a more home-style flavor, stir in a can of corn or green beans when you stir in the soup at the end.
