Shepard's Pie

So this one is freaking good. I mean...freaking good. A must try.

Ingredients:

  • Ground Beef (about 1.5lbs) - You could also use Turkey if you want.
  • 1 medium/small onion
  • 1 tsp. Rosemary
  • 1 tsp. Thyme
  • 4 cloves of Garlic
  • Salt (To taste)
  • Pepper (To taste)
  • Worcestershire Sauce (several splashes - I do about 8)
  • 1 8oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup of red wine 
  • 1 head of Cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan Cheese (No green can, you know how I feel about that.)
Directions:
  • Boil Cauliflower until tender
  • Brown your meat & onions (for those of you who aren't counting carbs, you can also add a carrot to that mix.) Salt/Pepper to taste

  • Once your meat is browned, drain it really good
  • Meat back on the stove add:
    • Rosemary
    • Thyme
    • Salt/Pepper
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Tomato sauce
    • Red wine
  • Let simmer while you prepare the mashed cauliflower
  • Add cooked/drained cauliflower to the food processor with:
    •  Heavy Whipping Cream
    • Garlic
    • Cream Cheese
    • Butter
    • 1 egg
  • Blend until smooth
  • Salt/Pepper to taste

  • In a 9x13 baking dish layer meat mixture on the bottom, then add cauliflower mash, then add grated Parmesan Cheese. (Make sure your meat mixture has simmered down to where there is no liquid in the pan. If there is still some, you haven't let it cook long enough Keep going or your pie will be soupy.)
  • Turn your oven broiler on high
  • Broil on high for 10-12 minutes until Parmesan is golden brown (watch this part carefully your oven might be faster than mine.) 
  • Let stand until cool and serve the deliciousness
