Instructions
 

Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Method: True One-Pot Meal

  • Set your Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode. Add sesame oil and brown the ground pork, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  • Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add sliced leeks and cook until slightly softened.
  • Stir in soy sauce.
  • Add cauliflower rice on top of the pork mixture. Do not stir.
  • Close the lid and set to "Pressure Cook" on high for 1 minute.
  • Once done, use quick release. Open the lid and carefully drain any excess liquid.
  • Add 1/2 cup cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to the pot.
  • Gently fold the cheeses into the cauliflower rice and pork mixture until well combined.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  • Close the lid (without sealing) and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Slow Cooker Method: Perfect for Busy Weeknights

  • Brown the ground pork in a skillet with sesame oil. Transfer to your slow cooker. I made it in my Crock-Pot and it turned out lovely.
  • Add soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
  • In the last 30 minutes, add sliced leeks and stir gently.
  • Prepare the cauliflower mash by steaming cauliflower rice in a separate pot until tender.
  • Mash the cauliflower with: 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and salt and pepper
  • Transfer the cooked pork mixture to a baking dish.
  • Spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the pork mixture.
  • Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown.

  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
  • Steam cauliflower rice in a separate pot until tender.

  • Salt and pepper to taste
