Ingredients
 

  • 1 large head cauliflower roughly chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup bone broth
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup parmesan shredded
  • additional salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a medium or large pot, fill halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until cauliflower is soft and easily pierced with a fork. Depending on how small you cut your cauliflower, this could take between 10-15 minutes. Drain the water once done cooking.
  • While the cauliflower boils, start the filling. In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil and the ground beef. Season with 1 tsp. salt, thyme and rosemary. Sauté and break up the meat until fully cooked.
  • Once meat is cooked, add onions, carrot, garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, bone broth and Worcestershire sauce. Turn heat to medium low and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • While the meat simmers, finish the topping. Add butter, parmesan and a heavy pinch of salt to cauliflower. Mash with a potato masher until slightly creamy.
  • In a large baking dish or 4 individual small baking dishes, add the meat and veggie filling. If using the individual baking dishes, evenly split the filling between each of the dishes.
  • Top the meat with the mashed cauliflower. If using individual baking dishes, split the mashed cauliflower evenly between each dish.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before eating.
