Customize It Instructions

  • If using 20 oz. ground beef, follow same instructions as 10 oz., working in batches if necessary.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Using hands, break cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces.

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

  2. 2

    Start the Vegetables

    Place a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 tsp. olive oil, cauliflower, and bell peppers to hot pot. Stir occasionally until starting to brown, 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Beef

    Add ground beef, bacon, white portions of green onions, and a pinch of pepper to hot pot. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Add flour and stir often until no dry flour remains.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Finish Dish

    Add 11/2 cups water, garlic salt, cream cheese, and chicken base to hot pot. Stir often and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, reduce heat to low and stir in half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish) until melted, 1-2 minutes.
