Ingredients
1 head cauliflower or about 6 cups florets or 4 cups cauliflower rice
1/3 cup coconut flour or choice flour 40grams
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces uncured bacon
1 1/2 pounds ground beef or turkey
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon coconut flour or choice
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
8 ounces sliced organic 100% cheddar cheese I used Horizon
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower until fork tender. Skip this step if using cauliflower rice.
Place into a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice. Skip this step if using cauliflower rice. Thaw if using frozen rice and then follow the rest of the directions.
Set aside in a bowl to cool then add the coconut flour and salt and mix well.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until moderately cooked, but not crisp.
Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to keep bacon juice in skillet.
Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool chop into pieces.
Add the ground beef to the same skillet and cook until browned.
Add the onion powder, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and mix well.
Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sauce
Add the butter to the same skillet and stir in the flour over low heat. Cook until the flour has absorbed the butter then add heavy cream and mustard.
Continue to cook on low heat until the sauce thickens.
Assembly:
Place 1/2 cup of the sauce to the bottom of a 9 by 13 baking dish.
Spread the cauliflower mixture on the spread as evenly as possible.
Place 4 ounces of sliced cheddar over the cauliflower.
Spread the ground beef over the cheddar slices evenly.
Pour half of the remaining sauce over the beef.
Place the remaining cheddar slices over the sauce.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with bacon.
Cover and bake 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes.
Allow to cool out of the oven for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Updated April 2017: Original recipe used ground turkey and adding oil to cook it. I removed the oil and changed it to ground beef and also adjusted the gluten free flour to using coconut flour. All nutrition info has been updated accordingly.
