Matt's Ground Beef and Cauliflower Casserole

Yes, Matt created this recipe. He told me he was hungry for three things: ground beef, cauliflower and Velveeta. This is my end result. It was awesome!

1 lb lean ground beef
1 t homemade season salt (or your favorite spices/herbs)
1/2 head fresh cauliflower broken into florets
4 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
about 2 T half and half

In a large frying pan or Dutch oven, brown beef. Drain if necessary; return drained beef to pan. Remove from heat and stir in seasoning.

Meanwhile, steam cauliflower about 2 minutes. Mix with beef and seasonings.

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8x8" baking dish with cooking spray.

In a small saucepan, melt cheese with half and half. Add to beef mixture. http://media-files.gather.com/images/d108/d414/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
Pour into prepared pan; bake 20 minutes or til hot and bubbling. Let rest a few minutes before serving.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d104/d414/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Variations: This would be great made with canned tomatoes. Stir in onion and/or garlic into the beef. Use cheddar or your favorite cheese. Mix with pasta.
