Ingredients

1 hr 30 mins
3-4 People
  1. 1 HeadCauliflower
  2. 4 StripsBacon
  3. 1/2 CupGround Beef (Roughly)
  4. 1/2 CupInstant Mashed Potatoes
  5. 1/2 CupMilk
  6. Cheddar Cheese (Grated)
  7. 1/4 CupParmesan Cheese
  8. 1Onion
  9. 2 ClovesGarlic
  10. 3 TbsButter (Melted)
  11. 1Egg
  12. Black Pepper
  13. Salt
  14. Paprika
  15. Olive Oil
  16. Parsley Flakes

Cooking Instructions

1 hr 30 mins
  1. 1

    Wash and prep cauliflower. Season and coat with olive oil. Roast in oven at 400 F for about 45 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook bacon and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté onions, garlic and ground beef in pan after cooking the bacon. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Put roasted cauliflower in blender (or food processor. Mine died) along with melted butter. Pulse. Begin adding milk and pulsing. Blend until you get a rather smooth mixture. Some chunks are fine. Remove and put in bowl.

  5. 5

    Hopefully now, everything is at room temperature. Add Parmesan cheese along with the sautéed vegetables and ground beef. Chop and add in 3/4 of the bacon. Mix.

  6. 6

    Now... the mixture was looking slightly runny and I was worried about it holding together. I opted to add in some instant mashed potatoes to absorb some of the liquid along with an egg. Add that in and mix.

  7. 7

    Place into a loaf pan... or really any pan that you want. Top with enough cheddar cheese to cover it and the remaining bacon.

  8. 8

    Place into a preheated 350 F oven. Bake about 30 minutes. It’s done when the cheese is melted and browned. Top with parsley flakes to give it an attractive personality.
