Make this healthifyied, veggie-filled Dirty Cauliflower Rice next time you are looking for a 5-ingredient, kid-friendly, healthy recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef, ground bison, ground turkey, or ground pork
  • ½ cup onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup jarred tomato-based pasta sauce (any flavor)
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • Chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet cook ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender, using a potato masher to coarsely break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat if necessary. Add pasta sauce. Stir until well combined. Transfer meat mixture to a medium bowl; set aside.
  2. While meat is cooking, place cauliflower florets in a food processor. Cover and pulse until very finely chopped (cauliflower should resemble rice).
  3. In the same skillet used to cook the meat mixture, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped cauliflower; sprinkle with salt. Cook, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes or until cauliflower is just tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add meat mixture to cauliflower rice. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until well combined and heated through. If desired, sprinkle with chopped chives to serve.
