Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Drain the cooked cauliflower and place it in a food processor with butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Spread the meat mixture evenly in a baking dish, and top with the cauliflower mash.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mash.
