Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 250 g Button mushrooms
• 500 g Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 g Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam them until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it has a rice-like texture. Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 4

Add the eggs, cheddar cheese, and a pinch of salt to the cauliflower and mix well. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 6

Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the mushrooms.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4 minutes.

Step 8

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to combine the mixture well.

Step 10

Grease a pie dish with a little butter or olive oil. Press the cauliflower mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to form a crust.

Step 11

Spread the beef and mushroom filling over the cauliflower crust evenly.

Step 12

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the crust is set.

Step 13

Let the pie rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low carb beef mushroom pie.
