Ingredients:
For the Cauliflower Mash:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Meat Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., diced carrots, peas - use keto-friendly veggies like green beans or bell peppers for a strict keto option)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (check for a sugar-free version)
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Cauliflower Mash:
- Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a food processor.
- Add heavy cream, butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower in the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Make the Meat Filling:

- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned.
- Stir in the mixed vegetables, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
Assemble and Bake:
- Transfer the meat filling to a baking dish. Spread the cauliflower mash over the top, smoothing with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
