Low Carb Shepherd's Pie

Low Carb Shepherd’s Pie

My older son has always loved shepherd’s pie. When he was little, he’d sit on the kitchen counter and watch me make it for him. So one day, when he was about 3, I asked him how Mummy made shepherd’s pie. He thought for a bit, and then said “First you catch a shepherd and then you kill him!” Boys. Such ghouls.

So I decided to try a paleo, low-carb version, which meant substituting mashed cauliflower for the potatoes. Technically this is a cottage pie, since I used ground beef.

      Haha! Try it with butter instead of coconut oil if you like. The coconut taste is fairly strong and if you’re not a coconut fan, maybe not so much with the oil thing.
