Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Start the Meatballs

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, panko, potato spice seasoning, and half the minced garlic and parsley (reserve remaining for cauliflower). Form mixture into 8 equally-sized meatballs. Transfer to provided tray.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Meatballs will finish cooking in a later step.

    While meatballs bake, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Add the Cauliflower

    Using hands, break cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.

    In another mixing bowl, thoroughly combine cauliflower, cream base, garlic salt, remaining minced garlic and parsley, cream cheese, and red pepper flakes (use less if spice-averse). Cream cheese will melt as meal bakes.

    After 10 minutes, carefully remove tray from oven. Drain any excess liquid. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Transfer cauliflower mixture to tray. Stir to combine and evenly top with shredded cheese.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake again uncovered in hot oven until cauliflower is tender and meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 15-20 minutes.

    While meal bakes, stem parsley and tear leaves.

    Carefully remove tray from oven and stir in lemon juice. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    To serve, garnish with parsley. Bon appétit!
