Keto Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6 cups)
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 c. heavy cream
- 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar, divided
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 c. low-sodium beef broth
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until tender, 10 minutes. Drain well, pressing with paper towels or a clean dish towel to remove as much excess water as possible.
- Return cauliflower to pot and add cream cheese. Use a potato masher to mash cauliflower until smooth. Add heavy cream, 1 cup cheddar, and half of the green onions and stir to combine. Season well with salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and carrots and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add tomato paste and stir to coat veggies. Add ground beef to skillet and using a wooden spoon to break up meat, cook until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add broth and simmer 2 minutes.
- Top skillet with cauliflower mash, then top with remaining ½ cup of cheddar. Bake until top is golden and cheese is melty, 20 minutes.
- Top with more green onions to serve.
