  • 1 lb. extra lean ground beef (turkey or chicken)

  • Cook beef add pepper and onion & garlic powder.
  • Sauté peppers and zucchini, once soft add basil and pepper.
  • Put beef in bottom of baking dish, top with pepper/zucchini mixture.
  • Spread cauliflower mash over the veggies and top with pepper.
  • Bake in oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. You can top with grated Allegro cheese to add taste
  • Note: The cauliflower is very wet. before you add the pepper and parsley put into a bowl and place a plate on the cauliflower so that the weight of the plate forces the water to the edge. Using a paper towel soak up the extra water. This will allow the cauliflower to get crisp edges.

*I add two pieces of Laughing Cow Light cheese and one tablespoon of Becel margarine to the mashed cauliflower.
