INSTRUCTIONS

MASHED CAULIFLOWER WITH PARMESAN

1. Soften cauliflower in boiling water. Drain, remove, and pat dry the cauliflower. Put in the food processor. Till the cauliflower is totally mashed, add the Parmesan cheese and cream cheese.

1. Blend the mashed cauliflower, then 1 oz at a time, gradually add the heavy cream. The mashed cauliflower should not be too thin, therefore you must be careful not to add too much liquid. As required, salt the food.

DELICIOUS MEATS

1. Add onions and ground beef to a big skillet. Heat skillet to a medium-high temperature. While the ground beef cooks, stir and crumble it. Cook beef until browned and onions are transparent.
2. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, carrots, peas, and broth. Mix Worcester sauce and tomato paste. If necessary, add salt. Simmer mixture before the heat is reduced to medium. Simmer combination for the duration necessary for the broth to decrease and slightly thicken.

PUFFING UP THE PIE

1. Bake the mashed potatoes for TWENTY to TWENTY FIVE minutes in a preheated oven until the edges begin to brown. After that, turn the oven’s broiler to low and cook the dish for a few more minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned.
2. I suggest closely monitoring the oven because this should only take 2-4 minutes.
   Before serving, if preferred, sprinkle on 1/2 tsp of rosemary or thyme.

NOTES

• Fresh rosemary and thyme can be substituted with dried versions.
• Don’t forget to utilise the entire one pound of cauliflower florets. You won’t have enough mash otherwise to cover the entire baking pan.
• 85/15 ground beef and 2 oz. of heavy cream were used to compute the nutritional information. There is no salt in it.
