What it is

Ground beef or chicken, cauliflower, cheese (mozzarella, cheddar), onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomato sauce (no sugar added), olive oil, heavy cream/butter for mash, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm cauliflower mash is used, not plantains. Request no ketchup or sugary sauces on top. Ensure the ground meat is cooked without sugar or starchy thickeners.
Watch out for
Ketchup or other sugary sauces are common toppings. Ensure the tomato sauce used for the meat filling is sugar-free. Hidden starches in the meat preparation.
