Directions
Make the Mashed Cauliflower
- Steam or pressure cook 1 head of cauliflower until it becomes soft.
- In a mixing bowl or food processor add cauliflower florets, butter, garlic powder and sea salt. (Chives, cream cheese or other seasoning optional).
- Blend or mash until it has the same consistency as mashed potatoes, then set aside.
Make the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- In a skillet add oil on medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and peppers. Sauté for 6 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned and set aside.
- In a separate skillet brown meat, season with salt and pepper. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, breaking apart the meat as you go.
- Stir in the broth, coconut aminos, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates and you have meat in a thick sauce. Remove from heat.
- In a medium casserole dish combine meat and vegetables.
- Use a spatula to evenly spread cauliflower mash over your meat and veggies
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are bubbly.
- If desired, place under the broiler for 2 to 4 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
