Slow Cooker Cuban-Style Beef over Cauliflower Rice

Oh my goodness this meal turned out absolutely delicious! Besides dicing the bell peppers, green chili, and onion, all you have to do is sear the meat and throw everything in the slow cooker. I actually threw all of those vegetables in the food processor to dice up real small, then cooked this for 8 hours since I doubled everything below. I know I always pair recipes with riced cauliflower, but it is seriously the easiest vegetable to heat up and serve with most recipes. There are so many frozen riced vegetables in the grocery store nowadays too, so you don't even have to pick the plain cauliflower rice if you don't want to. Below are a few of my favorite ones that ONLY have vegetables and spices listed in the ingredients:

• Cascadian Farm Riced Cauliflower Blend (Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Kale) 
• Green Giant Riced Cauliflower 
• Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower & Sweet Potato 
• Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower with Lemon & Garlic 
• Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower Medley 
• Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower & Broccoli 
• Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower Risotto Medley
  
• Birds Eye Steamfresh Riced Cauliflower Original

If you want an easy and seamless way to start eating more vegetables, then I recommend grabbing one of those frozen rice veggie bags and serving with your protein of choice, like this slow cooker cuban-style beef! This meal seriously turned out amazing and had plenty of sauce to throw over top when done. I will definitely be making this one again soon!
