- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small red pepper, deseeded and diced
- 1 small green pepper, deseeded and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 14.5 oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2–3 cups beef broth, depending on desired thickness
- 3 cups frozen cauliflower rice
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil. Add the diced onion and peppers and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the fire roasted diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chopped parsley. Return the cooked meat to the pot.
- Add the basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Stir well and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen cauliflower rice and cook until heated through.
- Serve warm with optional cheese and extra parsley if desired.
