Very yummy! Great base for lots of alterations. I added chopped pickles to mine after it came out of the oven.

This tasted horrific. My whole digestive system stopped and I felt nausea because of the cauliflower part.

Serving size one lb? What is one serving. 1/6 of that?

I also added minced garlic. We loved it so much. The first time that I doubled the batch the second time so that we have plenty of leftovers!

Absolutely loved this. Added 1/4 onion, garlic, ginger, fresh parsley and coriander and garlic powder to the mince. A single portion was so satisfyingly filling too. A guilt free pleasure

Great taste! Use a smaller cauliflower head so that meat is portioned just right! Like the others I added garlic, onion, and seasoning to meat.

How much less cauliflower it cost for 12 ounces I have an 8 ounce bag of florettes.

Really good! I added bacon, because what’s a cheeseburger without bacon?

Both my husband and LO love this one. Great for picky eaters. Hubby likes to put dill pickles on his.

The family loved this recipe! I used the frozen cauliflower rice, and drained well in a mesh colander. I added chopped red onion, garlic powder and onion powder to the mince, as well as mixing in the ketchup and mustard at that point. Served on a bed of finely chopped lettuce - Tasted just like a Big Mac! YUM

It was delicious but I added onions, garlic powder, and onion powder to my meat. I also added chopped dill pickles on top after baking.
OutstandingArugula516675 8 months ago
Very good. Thought it might need some zip so I added onion and garlic powder. I'll bet adding other vegetables, etcetera, would be good, too.

Very bland too much cauliflower compared to meat. May try again but add more spice etc

You can add more spicing to the meat, herbs etc , even beef bouillon powder. You can also add garlic salt and chives to the cauliflower, also a bit of cheese.

Excellent!! I’m always looking for great casseroles to help with meal planning for the week. This one is awesome. I used frozen cauliflower rice, just thawed and squeezed out the water. I also baked without the ketchup and mustard. Added mustard and pickle right before serving. Will definitely be adding this on a regular basis. I’ll bet it’s great with bacon too. Maybe I’ll try that next time!!

I added dill relish to the ketchup and mustard. After baking, I added chopped bacon.
