Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 12 oz. bag cauliflower florets
  • 1 container Trader Joe’s Mirepoix mix (contains chopped onions, carrots and celery)
  • 1½ tbsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. chopped rosemary
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Steam cauliflower florets in a pot on the stove or in the microwave.
  3. While the cauliflower is steaming, in a separate oven-safe skillet heat 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium high heat.
  4. Add in ground meat and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Then add in Trader Joe’s Mirepoix mix, 1 tbsp. salt and the chopped rosemary. Cook another 2 minutes, mixing everything together.
  6. When cauliflower is soft, mash with a fork and add in ½ tbsp. salt.
  7. Remove the meat from heat, spread the cauliflower mash over the mixture in the skillet and bake for 30 minutes.
Tips:
  1. If you can’t find the Mirepoix mix, you can use ½ onion, 3 carrots and 3 celery stalks – all chopped.
  2. If you prefer mashed potatoes over cauliflower mash, substitute 3 cups mashed potatoes.
  3. I normally like to make my dishes in one pot, but this one is so ridiculously yummy that it’s worth using the extra pot! It is best made in a cast-iron skillet. If you don’t already own one, it’s worth buying. I got mine at a discount store like Home Goods, and I use it all the time.
