Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter version)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese
- ½ cup beef broth
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5–7 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Cooking the Meat
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Making the Cheese Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the cream cheese and beef broth, stirring continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Combining Ingredients
- Add the drained cauliflower to the cheesy meat mixture, gently folding to combine everything thoroughly. Cook on low heat for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through.
Serving
- Once everything is well combined, serve hot, garnished with chives or green onions if desired.
Notes
Choose fresh cauliflower for enhanced taste and texture. Customize seasonings based on preferences. This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
