Introduction

A nongluten and healthier alternative to the old American standard Meatloaf and Mashed. A nongluten and healthier alternative to the old American standard Meatloaf and Mashed.
Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    Mashed (Not) Potatoes
    1 head of cauliflower
    1 good sized clove of garlic
    1/2 c. shredded cheddar
    A good dollop of Greek yogurt
    Salt and Pepper to taste (I used garlic salt)

Directions

Cut up your head of cauliflower into smallish florets. The smaller they are, the faster they're going to steam. Put them into a steamer pan or basket along with the garlic. About halfway through your meatloaf baking, put them on the stove to steam. You'll want them to be super well steamed before you try to mash them.
Once they're super well steamed (you should be able to smash a test piece super easily with a fork), dump them into a pan or bowl and mash them along with the now steamed garlic.
When they're thoroughly mashed the look a bit like kernels of rice. Add in your cheese, a nice big dollop of Greek yogurt and seasonings and stir it up good. These cooled off super quick after I mashed them, and so I'd probably add in a step to reheat them once you've seasoned them. Another option would be to put them in a small casserole and toss it into the oven to bake just a little bit. They would get a little bit crispy around the edges and taste delicious.
