Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ¼ c. whole milk
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 Carrots, peeled and chopped

- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 c. frozen peas
- 1 c. frozen corn
- 2 tbsp. flour
- ⅔ c. chicken broth
- 1 tbsp. Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Make mashed cauliflower: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until tender, 10 minutes. Drain well, pressing with paper towels or a clean dish towel to remove as much excess water as possible.
- Return to pot and mash cauliflower with a potato masher until smooth and no large chunks remain.
- Stir in cream cheese and milk and season with salt and pepper and mash until completely combined and creamy. Set aside.
- Make beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 5 minutes more. Drain fat.
- Stir in frozen peas and corn and cook until warmed through, 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle meat with flour and stir to evenly distribute. Cook one minute more and add chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let mixture thicken slightly, 5 minutes.
- Top beef mixture with and even layer of mashed cauliflower and bake 20 minutes or until there is very little liquid visible and the cauliflower is golden. Broil if desired.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
