Directions Place oven rack 5 inches from broiler. Preheat the broiler (use "low" setting if you have it). Microwave cauliflower according to package directions until softened. Stir in chives and pepper; set aside. Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron or other broiler-safe skillet over medium-high heat (see Tip). Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes; drain off most of the fat. Stir in Worcestershire and thyme, then add peas and carrots and onion; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly over the beef mixture and sprinkle with Cheddar. Broil just until the top is browned, about 3 minutes. Tip If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, you can transfer the beef mixture to a medium baking dish or 4 individual baking dishes after removing it from the heat in Step 3. Continue with Step 4 as written (divide the cauliflower mixture and cheese among the baking dishes if using individual-size dishes).

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
