Cauliflower Shepherd’s Pie
Cauliflower Mash:
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tbsp butter
Splash of milk (optional)
1 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Filling:
2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
1 celery stalk, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary, chopped
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
½ cup frozen corn
oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Steam cauliflower in a large pot for 12-15 minutes, or until tender. Using a potato masher, mash cauliflower and add butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. If cauliflower mash is too thick, thin out with a splash of milk. Set aside.
To make ground beef mixture, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter. Once butter has melted, add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add beef and cook until no longer pink. Stir in tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary and broth. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until beef broth has mostly evaporated. Stir in frozen vegetables and transfer to an oven safe baking dish. Top with cauliflower mash. Bake at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
*To make things even tastier, try adding ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top of the cauliflower mash then bake.
*If cooking from frozen, add on another 30-40 minutes to cooking time. If shepherd’s pie is browning too quickly, top with aluminum foil. If possible, to reduce cooking time, allow to completely thaw before baking.
