Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Skillet

Step 1

If needed, cut cauliflower into small bite size pieces if they are large pieces. On the cutting board press the cauliflower down with a paper towel. This will just remove extra water and allow them to cook up and get golden brown much easier.

Step 2

In a large skillet cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. Dab out the extra grease in the pan with a paper towel.

Step 3

Add two teaspoons olive oil. Then, add cauliflower to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (optional, Cook cauliflower until softened and there's some yummy golden caramelized bits. When its finished remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Next up, throw ground beef into a hot skillet along with chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the ground beef is browned and onions are softened. Add garlic in and cook for about 30 more seconds.

Step 5

Sprinkle beef with one tablespoon of flour and stir it around to coat. Cook for about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add in ketchup, relish, mustard, water, better than bouillon, and water. Stir together to combine everything. Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat to simmer for a few minutes.

Step 7

Now, add cauliflower back into the skillet and cover it with the cheese. If you want you can just put a lid on and let it melt or you can pop it into a 425 degree oven and let it melt for a few minutes IF your pan is oven safe.

Step 8

Top with pickles and crispy crumbled bacon. I also love throwing on some of those crispy onions (you know like the ones you use for green bean casserole?) to add some yummy crunch!
