I like to follow a religiously, strict Keto meal guidance and this Best Keto Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Topping falls exactly in line with my daily requirements. High in protein, with a pound of ground beef, and full in fat, with heavy cream and cheese, I bet you didn’t think dieting could be so tasty!
Instead of a traditional mashed potato topping, I use cauliflower florets to avoid foods that contain carbohydrate. I combine it with the heavy cream, shredded cheese and butter for the smoothest, creamiest mash topping ever!
To make The Best Keto Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Topping, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through.
Add the zucchini and tomatoes and stir to combine well. Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes.
In a large pot, add cauliflower to boiling water and boil for about 8-10 minutes, until soft.
Drain the cauliflower, allowing all the steam to escape. (Dry cauliflower will help to make a creamier mash.)
Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor. Add the butter, cream, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.
Place the ground beef mixture in the bottom of a large casserole dish and top with mashed cauliflower. Bake at 350 °F for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is browned.
Serve hot!
