Ingredients

– 1 head of cauliflower
– 1 pound ground beef (or lamb)
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 medium carrots, diced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 2 tablespoons tomato paste
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– ½ cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– ¼ cup heavy cream


Instructions

Creating Keto Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Topping can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
2. Make the Cauliflower Mash: In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Cook the Meat Filling: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Carrots: Stir in the minced garlic and diced carrots. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
5. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef (or lamb) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
6. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Add Peas: Fold in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
8. Assemble the Pie: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, layer the meat filling on the bottom. Spread the cauliflower mash evenly on top.
9. Add Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the cauliflower topping.
10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
11. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

By following these easy steps, you’ll create a delicious Keto Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Topping that your whole family will enjoy.
