Keto Shepherd's Pie

723 ratings

No matter the weather, a classic shepherd's pie can bring comfort to anyone eating it. By preparing a recipe of cauliflower mash in advance, you can make a big shepherd's pie that will satisfy a whole family! You don’t have to be on a diet to enjoy this meal, either. A savory meat and veggie filling is topped off with creamy mashed cauliflower and melty cheese.

      We loved this recipe. I added more of my spices to the beef, paprika, dried chillies, ground rosemary, onion powder, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Lots of flavour. I also skipped the carrots and served it on top of green beans instead. Delicious, definitely on my polish to make again.

        This Cottage pie is pretty bland, definitely recommend adding some other spices. (Onion powder, garlic powder, more pepper.). I make this as a Hunter’s Pie with ground venison or elk for a leaner fat profile and higher protein content.

          A little bland. Had to doctor it up with some spices.

            I love this so much! I added a little more carrots, garlic and onions and extra cheese. I’ll definitely be making it again!

                I love swede mash, which is called rutabaga in the US. Prepare the same as cauliflower mash ❤️

              This was really delicious. I added onion powder and onion flakes and a beef seasoning worth a small can of pass and carrots. The cauliflower mash was kind of a pain to make, but I'll probably try a different process next time. Definitely will make this again!

              Awesome recipe. I make this with a 50/50 topping of cauliflower and potato mash for the carbivors (kids). I love recipes that are easily shared between keto and carbo eaters. Leftovers keep well for lunch the next day.

                Was lacking flavor, so I added a packet of brown gravy mix and peas. So good!

                    This is a Cottage Pie. Shepherds pie is made with lamb (shepherd!).

                      Maybe this shepherd couldn’t afford lamb but still wanted to eat a meat pie, hence sheperds pie.

                      True, but how did it taste? Was it worth the work, hassle? Was t tasty? Full belly? Giving facts for reverse are more helpful. 🍀

                    I made this last night. It was good but not much like my traditional shepherd’s pie recipe. My husband missed the bacon that I usually put in mine. It occurred to me that it tasted more like a cheeseburger casserole. When we eat leftovers we might serve on romaine boats with dill pickles and mustard. Overall I’m glad I made it and really glad I did a double recipe which made about 7 dinner sized servings. One head of cauliflower worked for the double recipe of cauliflower mash.

                      You can put bacon in it!

                    Loved this recipe, I have 2 portions for dinner and take single portions for lunch at work( microwaves really well ) the only thing I added was a beef stock cube. Very tasty and will become a regular for me 9/10👍 serve with a large Gin and Slimline Tonic ☺️

                    Tried and loved this. Caulimash is revolutionary! I added chilli powder for some spice 😊

                      Add some stewed tomatoes ,they add moisture and taste like a more traditional pie

                        I love Shepherds Pie and when I saw this recipe I had to try it. It's really good! I feel like it could use a keto or low carb gravy with the meat but other than that I was really impressed with how tasty this was. My husband and I both loved it.

                          What do you use for keto gravy?

                          Add stewed tomatoes. It gives it more moisture, and it taste more like a more traditional shepherds pie.

                        This recipe is good and my husband loved it as well. Only callout is that the hamburger doesn’t seem to stay together and there is a lot of grease at the bottom which is probably why. I saw someone else added 3 tbsp of cream cheese to the meat so I will try that next time.
