Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Thousand Hills 85/15 Ground Beef

  • 1 tbsp Thousand Hills Beef Tallow

  • 1 cup Thousand Hills Beef Bone Broth

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 3 carrots, diced

  • 2 celery stalks, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)

  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

blank

  • 2 large heads of cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 2 tbsp Thousand Hills Beef Tallow

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Steam cauliflower until very tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Blend or mash with tallow, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

  2. Heat tallow in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add beef bone broth and peas, stirring to combine. Simmer 5-7 minutes, until thickened and rich.

  4. Pour the beef mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the top, using a spoon or spatula to create light swirls for texture.

  5. Place in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly on top.

  6. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
