Ingredients:

For the Beef

1 tbsp Olive Oil
.5 c Onions chopped
2 lbs Ground Beef
1 tsp Sea Salt
.5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
2 tbsp Taco Seasoning
4 Eggs lightly beaten

For the Cauliflower

1 head Cauliflower cut into florets
1 tsp Sea Salt

For the Cheese Sauce

4 oz Cream Cheese
.66 c Heavy Cream
2 tbsp Butter
.5 tsp Ground Mustard
.25 tsp Garlic Powder
3 c Cheddar Cheese shredded, divided
1 tsp Sea Salt
.25 c Green Onions chopped

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Make beef: In a large skillet over medium, heat oil. Add onion and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Drain excess fat and sprinkle in taco seasoning, stirring to coat the meat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs, then stir in the meat mixture. Spread mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a 9"-x-13" baking dish.
Meanwhile, make cauliflower: In a large pot of salted boiling water, blanch cauliflower, 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze water from the cauliflower. Arrange cauliflower in an even layer on top of beef in baking dish.
Make cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, ground mustard, and garlic powder, and cook over medium, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in two-thirds of the cheddar until smooth. Season with salt and stir in green onions.
Pour cheese sauce over cauliflower in the baking dish and top with remaining cheddar. Bake until cauliflower is tender, beef is set, and cheese is melty, about 30 minutes. If desired, broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
