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.
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.
