How to Make Shepherd's Pie Low Carb
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Chop 1 large head of cauliflower into florets and steam until very tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter to the cooked cauliflower.
- Remove from heat and mash well using a potato masher or electric mixer. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Spread half of the mashed cauliflower in the dish, creating an even layer as you would with mashed potatoes.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots, and ¾ cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- Pour the beef mixture over the cauliflower base in the baking dish.
- Cover the beef mixture with the remaining mashed cauliflower, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
