Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped cauliflower, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
5. Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover again and let it melt for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
