Keto Cottage Pie is a delicious, low-carb twist on a classic comfort food. This recipe swaps out the traditional mashed potatoes for creamy, cheesy cauliflower mash, making it perfect for those following a keto or low-carb diet. Ground beef and a savory onion mix form the delicious base, while the cheesy cauliflower mash creates a satisfying topping.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until they are tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the cauliflower well and let it sit for a few minutes to ensure most of the moisture evaporates.
- In a large bowl or food processor, add the cooked cauliflower, cream cheese, and the chicken broth cube (4g).
- Mash or blend until smooth and creamy. This will be your mashed cauliflower topping.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the ground beef and cook until the onion is translucent.
- Crumble the 1 tbsp of chicken broth cubes (6g) over the meat mixture and stir well to combine.
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
- Spoon the mashed cauliflower on top of the meat layer and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle 2 cups (230g) of cheddar cheese over the cauliflower layer.
- Add another 2 cups (230g) of cheddar cheese on top for an extra cheesy finish.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious keto cottage/shepherd's pie with ground beef and cauliflower!
Tips:
- Make sure to drain the cauliflower well after cooking to avoid a watery mash.
- For extra flavor, you can add herbs such as thyme or rosemary to either the beef mixture or the cauliflower mash.
- If you prefer a more golden and crispy top, you can broil the dish for the last few minutes of cooking.
This Keto Cottage Pie is a fantastic way to enjoy a comforting and hearty meal without the extra carbs. The creamy cauliflower mash paired with savory ground beef and melted cheddar cheese makes this dish both satisfying and nutritious. Whether you're following a keto diet or just looking for a healthier version of a classic dish, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
