Ingredients

• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup carrots, diced
• 0.5 cup celery stalks, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Boil a large pot of water and add the cauliflower florets. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the cauliflower and return to the pot. Add butter, heavy whipping cream, sea salt, and black pepper. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the skillet with the beef. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and thyme leaves. Simmer on low until the sauce thickens, around 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the beef mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 8

Top the beef mixture with the cauliflower mash, smoothing it out evenly over the meat.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the cauliflower mash.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
