Thread: Shepherd's Pie * all phases

Shepherd's Pie

1-2 cups mashed cauliflower
pepper
1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 lg. tomato, chopped
6 sliced mushrooms
2 TBSP chopped parsley
1 TBSP tomato paste
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup plain LF or FF yogurt
1 package frozen green beans
LF or FF Cheddar Cheese (for sprinkling)

Make your mashed cauliflower, set aside. Mix the beef broth and yogurt, set "gravy" aside. Cook meat until browned and crumbly, season to taste with pepper. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, parsley, tomato paste, Worcestershire and "gravy". Mix well. Add green beans and cook about 5-10 minutes. Turn mixture into a casserole sprayed with cooking spray. Spread mashed cauliflower evenly over meat. Bake at 400 F. for 25 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with cheese, bake 15 min. more until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Fresh green beans can be substituted for frozen ones if you'd like them to be crispier.

this sounds so delicious!

Did anyone try this yet? It sounds soo good!

This Shepherd's Pie was absolutely delicious! We decided we could eat it once a week it was so good. Quick and easy and should adapt well to being done in a Dutch Oven over a campfire! PERFECT!! Thank you, thank you, whoever posted this one.

I tried a similar recipe taken from the SBD Supercharged Book last night, "Southbeach Diet Shepherd's Pie" and spent a lot of time making it, shelling the edamame, etc. I followed the recipe exactly....it was dry, tasteless and I didn't like the texture. It needed some doctoring, more liquid perhaps, tomatoes, spices? I was really disappointed and probably won't make it again. Yuck.
The recipe above is different as there are tomatoes, tomato paste and green beans in this one. If you're going to try it, try the recipe here....not the one in the book!
