Keto Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 Onion
• 1 Carrots
• 2 stalks Celery
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 head Cauliflower
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Cheese
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dice the 1 onion, 1 carrot, and 2 stalks celery into 1/4-inch pieces, and cut the 1 head of cauliflower into small florets.
2. 2In a large skillet (such as a 10-12 inch), brown the 1 lb ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the diced 1 onion, 1 carrot, and 2 stalks celery, cooking until softened, about 5-8 minutes.
3. 3Stir the 1 cup beef broth, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce into the beef and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
4. 4While the beef mixture simmers, place the cauliflower florets in a large pot with about 1 inch of water, or in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam or boil the cauliflower until it is very tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes, then drain it thoroughly. Return the drained cauliflower to the pot and add the 4 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder, then mash until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. 5Pour the beef mixture evenly into an 8x8 inch (or similar 2-quart) baking dish. Carefully spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the top of the beef mixture, then sprinkle the 1/2 cup cheese evenly over the cauliflower mash.
6. 6Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges. Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving; this allows the pie to set and prevents the filling from being too runny.
