Ingredients

500 g Frozen Minced Beef
300 g Cauliflower
200 g Broccoli
100 g Spinach
150 g Gouda Cheese
200 ml Cooking Cream
1 medium White Onions
3 cloves Garlic
30 g Butter
0.5 tsp Nutmeg

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2
Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets. Steam or boil them for 4-5 minutes until just tender, then drain well.
3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped white onions until translucent.
4
Increase the heat, add the frozen minced beef, and cook until browned. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
5
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
6
Pour in the cooking cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in half of the grated gouda cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
7
Gently fold the steamed cauliflower and broccoli into the beef mixture.
8
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with the remaining gouda cheese.
9
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
