Ingredients

• 2 cups Leftover pot roast
• 3 cups Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Lower the heat and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese has melted and formed a smooth mixture.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Add the salt, black pepper, and paprika, and mix well to create a creamy sauce.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, leftover pot roast (shredded into bite-sized pieces), thawed and drained spinach, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
