Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare mashed cauliflower: While the meatloaf is baking, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Mash cauliflower: Drain the cauliflower and return it to the pot. Add butter, 1/4 cup milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a generous scoop of mashed cauliflower. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
