Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon bacon fat or lard
- 2-pound ground beef, 85% lean
- 2 ½ teaspoons fine salt, divided
- 2 teaspoon ground garlic
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 2 tablespoons dairy free milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-pound fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons cashew butter or sun flower seed butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or ghee
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F and heat a 16” inch cast iron skillet, or oven safe skillet on the stove over medium heat. When it comes to temperature, melt the bacon fat in the skillet, then crumble the ground beef into it.
- Break up the meat with a whisk or spatula until crumbly and browned. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, the garlic powder, onion powder and dried parsley. Stir well and continue to cook until completely browned.
- Combine the eggs, milk and vinegar in a small bowl and pour it evenly over the beef. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Quickly toss the broccoli florets with the remaining salt, nutritional yeast, cashew butter and olive oil until well coated then put the florets over the ground beef in an even layer.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven, middle rack and bake for 30 minutes. When the broccoli florets are browned and toasty and the egg is cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven and use a large spoon or spatula to serve the casserole hot!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes to reheat.
Recipe Notes:
Substitutions
- To make this egg free omit the egg and double the milk. Then with the milk and vinegar mix, add 1 tablespoon grain free flour to make a slurry.
- To make this AIP, use coconut flour or arrowroot starch for the slurry. Use coconut butter in stead of cashew butter on the broccoli.
