Keto Sloppy Joe and Mash Casserole

5 ratings

Sloppy joe sandwiches are a classic easy meal, but it’s not so easy on the keto diet when you also have to bake your own keto bread! A mashed cauliflower ‘potato’ base turns your sloppy joe filling into a properly sized meal component. Everything is glued together with good ol’ melted cheese.

Recipe Steps

steps 6

1 h 4 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and toss with the first amount of olive oil. Arrange across either a seasoned sheet tray or a tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the tray for 35-40 minutes, tossing the cauliflower halfway through.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    While the cauliflower is baking, cook the ground sirloin with the second amount of olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne in a pot over medium heat. Cook until the meat is browned and the seasoning is fragrant.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Turn the heat to low and stir in the tomato paste and beef broth. Place a lid on the pot and bring the pot to a simmer. Then, remove from the stove and set aside for later.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    When the cauliflower is done, transfer to a food processor. Pulse until blended to a firm mash with the salt, pepper, garlic clove, onion powder, heavy cream, and first amount of butter.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Turn the oven heat down to 350 degrees. Spread the cauliflower mash in the base of a standard 9x13 glass baking dish. Spoon the sloppy joe filling over the mash. Then arrange the shredded cheese on top.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Bake the dish in the oven openly for 10 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt and fir everything to heat through. Divide into 6 portions and serve with a spatula.

    Really enjoyed this recipe, easy casserole for a busy work day. I changed it a bit, didn't mash the cauliflower but roasted it, added additional veggies, suateed onion, celery, roasted kale (surprised that it tasted good but it was a good addition), and sauteed zucchini. Also added 4 oz cream cheese and topped with mozzarella instead of cheddar! Great dish!!

        I am a super picky eater & personally do not like cauliflower, but in this recipe I couldn’t even taste it. This was awesome and I’ll definitely eat it again

            This was very tasty. I fixed according to the recipe except I used frozen riced cauliflower because that’s what I had on hand so I cooked it on top of the stove until it was practically dry. And I used an 8 x 8 baking dish. My husband and I both really enjoyed it. Thanks.
