Keto Pizza Casserole
Using a base of cauliflower makes this dish a tasty alternative to the carb laden normal pizza, and with none of the fuss of making your own keto base. It is very calorie dense and rich, so serve it with a fresh green salad. All the flavour, none of the carbs!
Ingredients
- 1/2 head of cauliflower cut into small florets
- 500 grams beef mince
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 200 grams bacon diced
- 10 slices pepperoni or salami
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 cup grated mozzarella or tasty cheesy
- 1/4 cup olives optional, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 392F and grease a deep casserole dish.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender (I use the microwave with a splash of water for 5 - 6 minutes) and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large frying pan, fry the bacon in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until just crispy. Toss in the steamed cauliflower to soak up the bacon grease then pour into the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Without cleaning the frying pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and beef mince. Break the beef mince up and fry over medium high heat until browned.
- Add the garlic powder, tomato paste and oregano and stir through. Turn heat to medium and fry for 3- 4 minutes until thicker. Layer mince over the bacon and cauliflower. Depending on your meat, dab excess oil with paper towel.
- In a small bowl whisk together the eggs and cream. Pour over the mince mixture and shake the casserole to ensure it gets through.
- Top with the grated cheese and sliced pepperoni (and olives if using).
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and golden. Let stand for 5 minutes then serve.
