Savory Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice Casserole with a Zesty Avocado Cream

Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Stir in 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking until the onion is translucent. Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing well to combine the spices with the beef.

Incorporate 2 cups of cauliflower rice into the skillet, stirring until well mixed and heated through.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 ripe avocado, the juice of 1 lime, and 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, blending until smooth to create the avocado cream.

In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer the beef and cauliflower mixture evenly. Drizzle half of the avocado cream over the top, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Drizzle the remaining avocado cream on top and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
