Use a large skillet to brown the ground beef and vegetables. This will help to prevent them from sticking.

Season the ground beef and vegetables with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Use a low-carb mashed cauliflower recipe for the topping. This will help to keep the dish low in carbs.
If you don't have time to make mashed cauliflower, you can use a low-carb tortilla or cheese as a topping.
