Name: Cauliflower Taco Bake
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 1 h 20 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 yellow onion, diced; 2 lb. ground beef; Kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; 2 tbsp. keto taco seasoning mix; 4 large eggs, lightly beaten; Kosher salt; 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets; 4 oz. cream cheese; 2/3 c. heavy cream; 2 tbsp. butter; 1/2 tsp. ground mustard; 1/4 tsp. garlic powder; 3 c. shredded cheddar, divided; Kosher salt; 1/4 c. sliced green onions

Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Make beef: In a large skillet over medium, heat oil. Add onion and cook until slightly softened, 2 minutes. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Drain excess fat and sprinkle in taco seasoning, stirring to coat meat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs, then stir in meat mixture. Spread mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a 9"-x-13" baking dish.

Step 3Meanwhile, make cauliflower: In a large pot of salted boiling water, blanch cauliflower, 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze water from cauliflower. Arrange cauliflower in an even layer on top of beef in baking dish.

Step 4Make cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, ground mustard, and garlic powder, and cook over medium, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 cups cheddar until smooth. Season with salt and stir in green onions.

Step 5Pour cheese sauce over cauliflower in baking dish and top with remaining 1 cup cheddar. Bake until cauliflower is tender, beef is set, and cheese is melty, about 30 minutes. If desired, broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
