Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x12" (22 x 30 cm) baking dish with butter.
- Boil the cauliflower florets in lightly salted water for about 3 minutes or until tender. Drain thoroughly in a strainer.
- In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add ground beef, stirring until cooked through.
- Drain the canned tomatoes and chop into bite-sized pieces. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, mustard, cauliflower, and spices. Once combined, add ⅔ of the shredded cheese, stirring until melted into the mixture.
- Pour mixture into the baking dish, and add the remaining cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve with pickles, lettuce, and olive oil.

Other milder tasting vegetable from the cabbage family like chinese cabbage or bok choy, turnip or kohlrabi.
Gave a good tang to the mixture - like a burger would taste (to me).
WOAH!! Can't get higher praise than that! Thanks for sharing!
