1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9x13 inch casserole dish by lightly greasing it with coconut oil.
2
Empty the bag of pre-steamed cauliflower into a blender or food processor. Add coconut oil and 1/4 tsp of sea salt. Blend until it reaches a smooth, mashed potato-like consistency then set aside.
3
Heat up a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of sea salt, and brown it, making sure to break up the meat into small crumbles.
4
Add tomato paste and coconut aminos to the browned meat, stirring to mix well.
5
Remove the meat from the skillet, keeping about 2 tbsp of fat in the pan. Set aside the meat.
6
In the same skillet with the remaining beef fat, sauté the diced onion until it turns translucent.
7
Add the diced carrots and chopped celery to the skillet, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 tsp of sea salt, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender.
8
Mix back in the ground beef, freshly chopped rosemary, and thyme. Stir until well combined.
9
Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish and evenly spread the mashed cauliflower on top.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cauliflower topping starts to develop a golden brown color. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
