• 1 head cauliflower florets
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned.

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, and add the thyme. Stir to combine, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the cauliflower florets. Cook them until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 9

Drain the cauliflower and return to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream.

Step 10

Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the cauliflower mixture to create a smooth mash.

Step 11

Spoon the beef mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 12

Spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the meat mixture.

Step 13

Top the cauliflower layer with shredded cheddar cheese.

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
