Meatloaf with Cauli-Tater Crust

This is a real good dish for those people who are real big meat 'n potatoes lovers but want something without the tons of starchy carbs.




 Ingredients you'll need are:
For the meat:
- 1-2 lbs Ground Beef
- 2-4 Tbsp Onion Powder
- 1-2 Tbsp Garlic
- Crushed Chilies to taste
- Few shakes of salt and pepper
- 2 or 3 eggs

For the tomato paste:
- 1 can of tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp Garlic
- Couple teaspoons of sweetener

For the Cauli-tater topping
- Large head of cooked cauliflower
- 2 Tbsp Cream
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- Several shakes of salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp Garlic 
- 1/2 Tsp Xanthan Gum





You'll need these for the tomato paste and beef


Here's what you'll need for the crust


Throw the ground beef in a pan to fry


Add the spices and continue to brown
Mix the tomatoes, spices, and
sweetener in a pot on high



Let it boil away while you occasionally stirring


When the beef is done cooking...


Pull out a casserole dish


Add and mix in the eggs


Throw in the tomato paste


Mix it up real good and
flatten it out a bit on top


Throw it in the oven
for 15-20 minutes
Make sure you have your cauliflower cooked by this point and set the oven to preheat to 400 F.


Throw your cauliflower in a
blender or food processor


Add the other ingredients and blend until smooth


Put the cauliflower topping on top of the meatloaf
I also put some Parmesan cheese on too


Put it back into the oven until
the crust is sufficiently browned



Pull that meatloaf out


And enjoy!
