Keto British Shepherd’s Pie
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground lamb or beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (check for sugar content if strict keto)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 cups cauliflower mash (prepared separately)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the ground lamb or beef over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and cauliflower florets. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the beef broth and tomato paste. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir well to combine. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- While the filling is simmering, prepare the cauliflower mash if not already prepared. Steam or boil cauliflower florets until tender, then mash with a potato masher or blend until smooth.
- Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture into a baking dish. Spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the top.
- Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the cauliflower mash.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
