Keto Shepherd's Pie

713 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.

    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.

    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 ☺️

        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.

          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.

          It is delicious but you’re kidding yourself if you claim this recipe feeds 6 people. This is good for 2 people at best. 3/5 for incorrect portions.

            Yum! Modified slightly by adding some green beans and celery, along with a massels stock cube. Was delicious and will definitely make again. Portion size perfect for lunch or dinner.

              Size for 2 is extremely small. I had to forgo mine in order to let my husband have enough food. Made myself something else.

                    Had this tonight and my husband agreed, it’s a keeper! What a delicious meal. Only thing I did differently was use mushrooms instead of carrots.

                    This recipe was good after a few adjustments. I choose not to add carrots, but added the following...half of a red, yellow & green bell pepper, garlic cloves, onions, celery salt, and garlic powder. Placed cauliflower mash on top and sprinkled with cheese. Delicious!

                      I did everything except…I put frozen riced cauliflower on top….dumb. It’s cooking now, I have a feeling it’s going to be ruined

                        I would thaw that cauliflower rice first then cook and mash with 25% potatoes…mmmm!
