Mashed potatoes, which normally adorn Shepherd's Pie, are high in carbs so we replaced the potatoes with cauliflower for a low-carb swap everyone will love. Still creamy and buttery, you'll barely miss the potatoes.

Ingredients
- 1
medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 oz.
cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup
whole milk
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
- 1
large onion, chopped
- 2
carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2
cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb.
ground beef
- 1 cup
frozen peas
- 1 cup
frozen corn
- 2 Tbsp.
all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup
low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp.
freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until tender, 10 minutes. Drain well, pressing with paper towels or a clean dish towel to remove as much excess water as possible.
- Step 2Return to pot and mash cauliflower with a potato masher until smooth and no large chunks remain.
- Step 3Stir in cream cheese and milk and season with salt and pepper and mash until completely combined and creamy. Set aside.
- Step 4 Make beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 5 minutes more. Drain fat.
- Step 5Return skillet over medium heat and stir in frozen peas and corn and cook until warmed through, 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 6Sprinkle meat with flour and stir to evenly distribute. Cook one minute more, add broth, and stir mixture until slightly thickened, 5 minutes.
- Step 7Top beef mixture with an even layer of mashed cauliflower and bake 20 minutes or until there is very little liquid visible and the cauliflower is golden. Broil if desired.
- Step 8Garnish with parsley before serving.
