Salisbury Steak and Mashed Cauliflower

I had never had Salisbury steak before making this. I know it's known as a old-person dish, but that's about it. Basically it's a meatloaf-type patty with mushroom gravy. I really liked it, but it needed some oomph, so I added a few things.

Salisbury Steak w/ Mushroom Gravy*

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef
1/4 c. parmesan cheese (1 oz)
1/4 c. ground pork rinds (1 ounce)
1 egg
2 Tbs. heavy cream
1/4 c. onion, chopped (1 oz)
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced or diced finely, whatever you prefer
1/4 c. onion, chopped (1 ounce)

Gravy:
2 c. beef broth
3 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. salt
4 Tbs. heavy cream
1 tsp. xanthan gum

In a large bowl, mix the first 11 ingredients. Shape in 5 or 6 oval patties. In a large skillet, brown the patties on both sides and place in an 8x11" baking dish.

In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms and 1/4 cup onion until tender. Add the gravy ingredients and bring to a simmer. Pour the mushrooms, onion, and gravy over the patties. Bake, uncovered, at 300º F for 1 hour.

The mashed cauliflower is a big hit in my house, and I make it to go with anything I'd normally eat mashed potatoes with.

Mashed Cauliflower:

1 head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
4 slices cheese (either colby jack, cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda)
1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbs. butter
dash of paprika
dash of onion powder
dash of garlic powder

Combine florets, cheese, whipping cream, butter, salt, and pepper in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for about 18 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through. Place cooked cauliflower into a food processor or Ninja and process until smooth.
