When I have a couple of biscuits left over from breakfast I like to make combo dishes like this. Leftover cauliflower enhances the flavor profile, but if I have none left over, I cook it a few minutes from scratch in boiling water. This creation is always tasty, although a bit different each time I make it for some strange reason. Trust me, it tastes much better than it looks in the picture. What you end up with is a flavor similar to classic Shepard's Pie but with sausage instead of the traditional beef. It really tastes like there is mashed potatoes in this dish! This dish is not suitable for Induction unless you make an unsweetened MIM with some cheese added and used that instead of the cheese biscuits.
INGREDIENTS:
2 my cheese biscuits (or other low-carb biscuit or muffin)
¼ lb. breakfast pork sausage
1 green onion, chopped
2 T. red pepper, chopped
3/4 c. cauliflower, boiled or steamed
Pinch salt and pepper
2 oz. grated cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS: Cook sausage, crumbling as it cooks until no longer pink. Add chopped green onion and red pepper and sauté until nearly tender. Lightly grease a casserole dish. Break up the two cheese biscuits on the bottom of the dish. Next put the steamed, mashed cauliflower as evenly over this as possible, mashing any large pieces pretty flat. Next add the meat and vegetable mixture evenly. Top with grated cheddar and bake at 350º for 20 minutes.
