Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup bone broth or cooking broth
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 cup basmati rice, uncooked
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Blend the cottage cheese, broth, and parmesan cheese until smooth to create a light sauce.
  2. Set aside the sauce while preparing the other ingredients.
  3. In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over high heat.
  4. Add the diced onion and cauliflower rice to the skillet. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring often until softened.
  5. Move the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet and add more oil to the empty spot.
  6. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is almost done.
  7. Lower the heat to medium and add the broccoli florets. Pour in the sauce and mix everything well.
  8. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  9. Stir in the uncooked basmati rice, ensuring it's fully combined with the other ingredients.
  10. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the rice is tender.
  11. Once cooked, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the dish, cover, and let it sit for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
  12. Serve warm, garnished with extra parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
