Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup, divided
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 250°F. Lightly grease the wells of a 12-cup muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, 1/4 cup of the cheddar, 1 tablespoon of the sugar-free ketchup, chopped onion, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Divide the meat mixture among 8 muffin-pan wells. Press it in lightly, leaving the tops rounded rather than packing the mixture firmly.
  • Set the pan in the smoker and cook until the centers of the meatloaf muffins reach 160°F, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Spoon the remaining ketchup over the tops and sprinkle on the remaining cheddar during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • While the muffins smoke, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well, then transfer them to a bowl. Add the butter and heavy cream and mash until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper only if desired.
  • Remove the meatloaf muffins from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve two muffins per person over a portion of cauliflower mash.

Drain the steamed cauliflower thoroughly before mashing so the finished mash stays thick and creamy. For the best texture, check the muffins with an instant-read thermometer and take them off the smoker once they reach 160°F.
