The Savory Beef & Pepper Base:
1.5 lbs (24 oz) 96% Extra-Lean Ground Beef Sirloin
2 Large Red Bell Peppers (cored and cut into bite-sized 1-inch squares)
2 Large Green Bell Peppers (cored and cut into bite-sized 1-inch squares)
1 Medium Yellow Sweet Onion (finely diced)
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 cups Riced Cauliflower (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
1 can (15 oz) Tomato Sauce (no sugar added)
1 can (14.5 oz) Petite Diced Tomatoes (drained)
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1.5 tsp Italian Seasoning & 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder & 1 tsp Onion Powder
Coarse Kosher Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (to taste)
Olive oil cooking spray
The Melty Marbled Cheese Topping:
1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
3/4 cup Reduced-Fat Sharp Cheddar or Colby-Jack Cheese (shredded, for that signature yellow-and-white marbled melt)
👩🍳 Easy Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly mist a 9x13-inch clear rectangular glass baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
Brown the Beef & Peppers: Mist a large, deep skillet with olive oil spray over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, diced onion, and chunky red and green bell peppers. Season with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until the beef is browned and the peppers are tender-crisp.
Simmer with Sauce & Cauliflower Rice: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, riced cauliflower, drained diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Let simmer on medium-low for 4–5 minutes until the sauce is thick, savory, and well combined.
Assemble in Glass Dish: Transfer the beef and pepper mixture into your prepared glass baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Scatter the shredded Mozzarella and Sharp Cheddar cheeses evenly across the top.
Bake Until Melty: Bake uncovered at 375°F for 18–20 minutes until the edges are bubbling hot and the cheese is completely melted, smooth, and glossy.
Scoop & Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes, then use a large serving spoon to scoop a steaming, cheesy portion onto your plate. Enjoy warm!
