• Loaf pan – You can also make this in a 9×9 casserole dish as well.
• Pork rinds – These get ground up and mixed in with the ground beef.
• Food Processor – Pureeing the cauliflower is much easier with a food processor.
• Worcestershire sauce – Amazon Prime pantry has a great price on an organic brand of this!
• Tomato paste – I prefer to buy tomato paste in bulk because I always seem to never have enough when I need it.

This is definitely a great recipe to make ahead and freeze, especially if you get some disposable loaf pans.

I know, I had you at bacon.

The kids won’t even know that’s cauliflower.

Yum!
