This keto shepherd’s pie features a savory beef and pork filling topped with creamy cauliflower mash and melted cheese. It’s a comforting low-carb dinner packed with rich flavor and hearty texture.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 7 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces ground pork
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cleaned and trimmed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Steam the cauliflower whole and uncovered until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the pot and return the cauliflower to the hot pot. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  3. Mash the cauliflower with a fork. Stir in 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup butter, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, chives, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  5. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter with olive oil. Add the onion and remaining garlic and cook until softened and fragrant.
  6. Add the ground beef and ground pork. Cook until browned, then drain excess grease.
  7. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
  8. Add the carrots and red bell pepper and sauté for 10 minutes. Stir in the peas.
  9. Transfer the meat mixture to a large casserole dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Spread or pipe the cauliflower mash evenly over the cheese layer.
  11. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Notes

  • For extra browning, broil the casserole for 2 to 3 minutes after baking.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the pork if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze portions for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven for best texture.
