Beef "Mac" & Cheese

I was having a mac and cheese moment! But no way was I going to give in and eat a plate of pasta covered cheese so I came up with this. Very good, satisfying and only 1.7 total carbs.

Beef "Mac" & Cheese

Ingredients:
Makes 2 servings

7 oz ground beef
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp almond flour
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp cream cheese
3 Tbsp Monteray Jack cheese
3 Tbsp Sharp Cheddar cheese
5 oz steamed cauliflower
salt and pepper to taste (you can also be creative and add some chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. To give it a mex-tex flavor if you like)

Directions:

Brown the ground beef and set aside. While beef is cooking, put the cauliflower in a ziploc baggie, leave about 2" open and place in microwave for 3-4 minutes. Melt butter in skillet, add almond flour to make a paste, add the heavy cream and simmer until it starts thickening. Add all the cheese and stir until melted. Place steamed cauliflower on several layers of paper towels and fold up into a ball. Squeeze excess water out. Chop cauliflower into bite size pieces.
Add cauliflower and beef back into cheese sauce and stir. Sprinkle a little cheddar on top if you like.
