Shepard’s Pie

Shepard's Pie

I haven't made this in a while. I got the recipe from one of my favorite paleo cookbooks Well Fed. It was a hit at my house!

For the cauliflower mashed potatoes:
1 head of cauliflower
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 cup coconut milk
Salt and pepper

1. Steam cauliflower stems
2. Put cauliflower in food processor.
3. Add garlic, coconut milk, salt and pepper and process until the consistency of mashed potatoes

For the rest of the pie:
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 lb ground beef
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp coconut aminos
3 egg whites

1. Preheat oven to 400. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet. Add onions, carrots and garlic and begin to brown
2. Next crumble meat into skillet and brown all together
3. Season mixture with salt and pepper( I also added some Tony's Cajun seasoning)
4. Now add tomato paste, chicken broth, and coconut aminos. Bring mixture to a boil and the turn heat down and let simmer until most of the liquid is gone
5. Set pan aside and let cool
6. In a small bowl whip the egg whites together until they are frothy and add them to the meat mixture.
7. Now spread the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of a 12x6 baking dish, and then cover it with the cauliflower mashed potatoes
8. Bake 25-30 minutes
