Description

A healthier version of Shepherd’s Pie made Paleo. Shepherd’s Pie is a traditional English dish. In Britain it is generally made with lamb or mutton; in this recipe I have made a simple ground beef shepherd’s pie and added bacon for extra flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
  • 1 pound Turkey Or Pork Bacon, Cut Into 2 Inch Slices
  • 2 cups Diced Carrots
  • 2 cups Diced Celery
  • 1 pound Organic Grass Fed Ground Beef
  • ½ teaspoons Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 whole Large Heads Cauliflower, Trimmed, Chopped And Steamed Until Very Soft

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat half of the olive oil in a very large frying pan. Saute onion for 15 minutes until soft. Add bacon pieces to pan and sauté until cooked, about 10 minutes.

Add carrots and celery to pan and sauté in bacon fat for 10 minutes until soft. Add ground beef to pan and sauté until brown, just a few minutes. Season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.

Add chicken broth and cook down broth until 60% evaporated.

Place cauliflower in food processor and puree with remaining olive oil until smooth.

Pour ground beef mixture into a 9×13 inch Pyrex baking dish. Pour mashed cauliflower over beef mixture.

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Serve.

When made with beef we actually call it Cottage Pie in England :) The term shepherds pie is reserved for the dish when made with lamb.

Really enjoyed this recipe. I added some chopped leeks and mini green peas to the base and subbed the bacon for chorizo sausage which was also delicious (and definitely flavourful… yeesh!). I also subbed half the cauliflower on the top with steamed turnip which added another level of flavour. Will definitely make it again!

This is delicious but don’t count on leftovers-it is THAT good. I used a frozen vegetable medley that included corn, peas, carrots and green beans. Used traditional mashed potatoes for the topping. I would cook the hamburger separately and drain the grease, then add to the mix. Perhaps not ‘true’ Paleo, but I doubt bacon was part of the cave-man diet. :)
