How to Make It

1. Preheat: Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté: In a skillet, heat oil. Add onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
3. Brown: Add ground beef. Break apart and cook until no longer pink.
4. Season: Stir in salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, and tomato paste. Mix well.
5. Simmer: Pour in beef broth. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Let it reduce slightly.
6. Pulse: In a processor, blend steamed cauliflower with butter, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
7. Layer: Transfer beef mixture into a baking dish. Spread cauliflower mash on top like a frosting.
8. Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese across the surface.
9. Bake: Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly.
10. Finish: Broil for 2–3 minutes to crisp the cheese—watch closely.
11. Rest: Let it sit for 10 minutes. The craving intensifies as it cools.
12. Serve: Spoon deeply. There are no small portions here.
