Assembly and Baking

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions and bell peppers when cooking the beef. You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. If you don’t have cauliflower rice, shredded zucchini works well too. Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference. Leftovers can last in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or in a freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat when ready.
