Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish greased
  • 1 Skillet for browning beef
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain the excess fat and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the cauliflower florets for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, sautéed cauliflower, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning throughout.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted butter and milk until a thick batter forms. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spread the beef and cauliflower mixture evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon the cheddar cobbler topping over the mixture, spreading it with a spatula.

Serving

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
