ingredients
Bottom Layer
1 1/2 pound ground beef, cooked
1 cup prepared Alfredo sauce, MIXED WITH
1/4 cup cream
Middle Layer
1 cup green vegetables, cooked (carbs depend on vegetable, but probably 6-8)
Top Layer
1 cup rutabaga
1 1/2 cup turnips
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg
Topping
1/3 cup grated Parmesan or mizithra cheese
directions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel rutabaga and turnips, making sure to remove the tough top bits; place in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover with pan lid, lower heat and simmer for about an hour until tender.
Drain then cube and place veggies and remaining ingredients in a food processor; puree. Add egg while processor is whirring and let it go for another 20 seconds or so to make sure it's mixed in well.
(You can also cube them ahead of time then simmer for about 20 minutes and it doesn't take so long to cook, but both veggies are so hard and woody I've given up on that technique and just boil them whole.)
Putting it all together: Mix the cooked beef and sauce together and put it in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Layer the cooked vegetable over it, then the turnip/rutabaga "mashed potatoes." Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
Bake covered for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until top layer is golden brown.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I thought this recipe was delicious and was a great low carb alternative. I switched up the veggies though, using a can of veg-all (no potatos) and adding garlic powder to the turnip mixture. I also couldn't find the 4 brothers sauce, so I used sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce. Very very yummy!
