This turned into a really nice family dinner that is really simple to make. I really liked the riced cauliflower on the bottom which is used as a base crust, it really adds to the dish.

Ingredients
Bottom Layer
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil
- 1 large head Cauliflower or riced cauliflower
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
Meat Layer
- 2 lb Ground beef
- 2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
Top Layer
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
-
Rice the cauliflower using a food processor or box grater. (Learn more about how to make cauliflower rice here.)
-
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sea salt. Stir fry until the cauliflower is cooked and a little browned, about 7-10 minutes.
-
Remove from heat. Stir in the cheddar cheese and heavy cream.
-
Transfer the mixture evenly to a 9 x 13 in (23 x 33 cm) glass casserole dish. Set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
-
Lightly wipe down the saute pan to remove any cauliflower pieces, and add the ground beef. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook the ground beef until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain if needed.
-
Sprinkle the ground beef evenly over the cauliflower in the casserole dish.
-
Drizzle the casserole with ketchup (you can make your own sugar-free ketchup like this, or store bought is fine if you are not strictly sugar-free) and mustard. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
-
Bake for about 10 minutes, until casserole is hot and cheese melts.
