Golden, bubbly cheddar cheese covers a savory layer of ground beef seasoned with chili, cumin, and smoked paprika. A blend of cream cheese and sugar-free tomato sauce gives the meat a smooth, cohesive texture that holds up well to slicing. This casserole delivers a deep red color and a fragrant, spiced aroma, offering a dense and satisfying meal that mirrors the flavors of a traditional taco without the carbs.
