Shepherd’s Pie is one of my favorites, but keto lifestyle means no potatoes, so I subbed them for cauliflower mashed potatoes and today I’m sharing the delicious Keto Shepherd’s Pie.
Keto Shepherd’s Pie
Before You Start:
Make sure your cauliflower is cooked and cooled off ahead of time and the excess water is removed from it, if you are making from scratch.
I’ve noticed that if you buy the frozen bag of cauliflower rice pre-cooked, it gets mushy when it thaws and it doesn’t get the same consistency you see above!
You can make a few small portions on ramekins or a larger portion with the same ingredients below:

This easy version of a favorite will give you the flavor without the guilt!
- 1 Pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1 Bag Frozen Raw Riced Cauliflower you can also make it at home, I buy the bag to save time.
- 1 Large Egg

- 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 1 tbsp MCT Oil
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tsp Avocado Oil
-
Brown Ground Beef on a skillet with MCT oil, sometimes I add onions but due to high carb nature, you don't have to.
-
Cook the Cauliflower Rice for 15 minutes, drain and add almond milk, salt and pepper to taste, xanthan gum and cheese and cook until creamy and cool it off for 30 mins.
-
Add the egg to the mashed Cauliflower, mixing it gently.
-
Pre-heat the oven to 375F
-
Grease a baking pan with Avocado oil
-
Add Lean Ground Beef to the pan
-
Add Mashed Cauliflower

Bake for 30 mins or until Golden Brown

Enjoy!
Hope you’ve enjoyed this recipe! It is one of my go to Keto Recipes all year long!
I also use the mashed cauliflower part of the recipe as a side dish and it freezes really well, so sometimes I just make extra and place it in the freezer to pair it with protein on a busy night!
