If you looking for a high protein, low carb recipe, that is quick, comforting and healthy, then this is it. These high protein bowls can be served over cauliflower rice for a low carb version or, regular rice if that’s the way you roll. A little cheese on top is quite decadent but not necessary. I am loving the simplicity of this recipe and I hope you do too!
