How to Make It
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Add to a food processor. Process until it resembles rice.
Step 2
Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and cook for 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the heavy cream and half of the shredded cheddar. Stir all well and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (13×7 inch). Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, spread the cauliflower mixture as evenly as possible. Set aside.
Step 5
Melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Spread the meat evenly over the cauliflower layer. Top with the remaining cheddar. Drizzle ketchup and mustard over everything and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 7
When done, remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into six equal pieces and optionally serve with some more sugar-free ketchup. Serve immediately.
