Ok I know, it sounds odd but I wanted some potatoes or pasta today and got to tinkering in the kitchen! I'm still working on figuring the carbs, but as far as I can tell it is about 4 from the tomatoes and 6 or so from the other veggies. Here it goes...

Stuff you need:
1/2 lb. of ground chuck or sirloin
1/3 cup finely diced onion
1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
@ half bag of frozen veggie mix (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots etc...)
or just cauliflower…less carbs I think?
1/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 to 1/2 cup parmesan. cheese
3 tbs 1% low fat milk
1-2 tbs butter
Spices to your taste (I used oregano, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper)
1 tbs. olive oil
3 mini loaf pans or one regular size loaf pan

Preheat oven to 350

Place veggies in a pan with water and bring to boil

Brown/cook beef with onion
Drain beef in paper towels and use a paper towel to clean grease out of pan

Check veggies they will probably need to be turned down, cook until fork tender

Return beef and onion mixture to the pan and season to taste
Add tomatoes to beef...leave on low to warm through

Drain veggies when done and add to food processor
Add cheese, milk, butter (leave some parmesan cheese aside to top pies) You are mashing veggies as you would potatoes.

Use the olive oil to grease the pan(s), use a paper towel to rub and grab the extra oil

Spoon about 2/3 of the veggie mixture into the pan(s)
Bake for 5 minutes, to set...

Bring out the pan(s) and bring the oven up to broil...500
Add the beef mixture to the set mashed veggies and top with the other veggies mixture and top with leftover Parmesan cheese.

Broil until bubbly and cheese gets a nice brownish color. Let stand and min or two and run a butter knife around the edge then you turn them over on a plate.
