Vegetables
Bacon and cauliflower florets
Creamy Sauce
Mozzarella and Swiss Cheeses
Hot out of the oven and now we can dig in! Plenty of vegetables, lovely bacon and a creamy sauce topped with a mixture consisting of shredded Swiss cheese as well as Mozzarella cheese. If you have not tried combining those two cheeses before, you are missing out!
CAULI TOT HAMBURGER
BAKE
This TASTY casserole is chock-full of lovely healthy
vegetables. Cauliflower florets are the
stand-ins for tator tots. This was a
very satisfying dish and the molten cheese mixture of Mozzarella and Swiss
cheese is super-tasty! Serve with a
salad on the side or with delicious soft green beans (boil soft) and fry in a
little butter, adding seasoning salt and pepper, to taste.
P.S. This casserole is rather flexible. If you are not a fan of some of the veggies...leave them out or substitute a veggie you will like. Either way, it's bound to be good!

6 slices
bacon
1 cup chopped onion (250 mL)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
Seasoning salt, to taste
22 oz cauliflower florets (0.6 kg)
2 lbs lean ground beef (0.9 kg)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese (250 mL)
1 cup grated Swiss cheese (250 mL)
Creamy Sauce:
8 oz regular cream cheese (250 g)
1 cup whipping cream, OR low-carb milk, OR (250 mL)
mix of cream and water
2 tbsp light-tasting olive oil (30 mL)
2 tsp onion salt (10 mL)
1/4 tsp white pepper (1 mL)
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In
nonstick frying pan, over medium heat, cook bacon until turning crisp. Set the bacon aside. Pour off the fat and in about 1 tbsp bacon
fat, cook the onion until softening. Add
the green and red peppers and stir fry until tender. Sprinkle with seasoning salt, to taste. Set the vegetables aside.
In
pot of boiling water (or use a steamer), cook cauliflower florets until tender.
In
same frying pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt and black pepper, to
taste. Add cooked onions and peppers.
Place this mixture in a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) casserole dish. Spread the cooked cauliflower florets over
top, as well as the bacon broken into little pieces. Pour the creamy sauce over top and sprinkle
with Mozzarella and Swiss cheeses. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until cheese is golden brown in places.
Creamy Sauce: In nonstick frying pan or pot, place cream
cheese (broken up), whipping cream, olive oil, onion salt and white
pepper. Bring to the boil, chopping the
cream cheese ever smaller, until it is possible to whisk the sauce into a
smooth consistency.
