INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 medium Onion, diced
1/2 cup Carrots, diced
1/4 cup Frozen Green Peas
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the pan, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a small baking dish, spreading evenly.
Top with the mashed cauliflower, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
