Directions

To prepare the topping, cook cauliflower in water until fork tender. Drain. Mash up and add milk and butter (or margarine). (Note: you can get a finer texture if you blend with a hand blender).

For the base, brown ground beef and garlic in a large skillet. Drain. Add onion soup mix, frozen vegetables, milk, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Spread base mixture into a casserole or 8x8 square baking dish. Cover base entirely with the cauliflower topping. Sprinkle with: 1 cup (6 oz) of grated cheddar cheese. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
