Equipment

  • Pan
  • Pot
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 28 oz ground beef
  • 7 slices bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 14 fl oz milk
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
  • salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste
  • parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cook the head of cauliflower in a covered pot of salted boiling water for about 5 minutes. Remove the cauliflower stem and cut off the florets. Set the stem aside for now.
  • Add the onion, paprika, garlic, oregano, mustard, salt, pepper, and eggs to the ground beef and mix well.
  • Take about 2 tbsp of the ground beef mixture, flatten it out in your hand, place a cauliflower floret in the middle, seal the meat around it, and form a meatball. Repeat this 6 more times with the other cauliflower florets.
  • Wrap a slice of bacon around each cauliflower meatball. Heat a pan with a little bit of oil over medium heat and cook the meatballs on all sides.
  • Chop the cauliflower stem you set aside earlier and add it to a bowl with shredded Swiss cheese and milk. Season everything with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and purée the mixture until smooth.
  • Pour the cauliflower cheese sauce over the meatballs in the pan and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
