Cauliflower Shepherds Pie

This recipe is quick, easy and tastes really good. The cauliflower replaces the potatoes for a lower carb meal. This recipe is a staple in my house. I make 2 at a time and freeze one. It is also really good cold for lunch the next day. 

Ingredients:

2lbs lean ground turkey or chicken

1 tsp cayenne pepper

½ onion, chopped

5 cups frozen vegetables

3 eggs

1.5 – 4oz cans of tomato sauce

½ cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese

2 lbs cauliflower

2 tbsp garlic

Chives

1 tbsp garlic powder

Salt and Pepper

 Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Filling: Brown meat in a pan with the onion, garlic and cayenne pepper. Once browned drain extra fat and then add tomato sauce. Place half of the mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish. Add the frozen vegetables as the next layer and then the rest of the meat mixture. Whisk 3 eggs and pour on top.

Topping: Chop cauliflower into florets. Using a large pot add water and let it come to a boil. Once the water is boiling add the cauliflower and let cook until soft for about 10 minutes. Drain the water. Puree cauliflower using a hand blender. Add the cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread the cauliflower over the top of the meat mixture.

 Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Service with a side salad or grilled veggies. Enjoy!
