Healthy Shepherd’s Pie
Report
This healthy shepherd’s pie is a lighter take on the classic dish. Made with a few small tweaks, this lighter shepherd’s pie is just as delicious and easy! Ground beef and vegetables simmered in a tasty gravy and then topped with a potato-cauliflower mash, this is the perfect dinner for your family.

Ingredients
For the Mashed Topping
- 3 Russet potatoes peeled and quartered
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan packed
- 1½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 1½ salt
- 8 ounce cremini mushrooms minced
- 1 carrot peeled and finely diced
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2½ tablespoons tomato paste
- 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh Rosemary chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F.
- Bring a (covered) pot of salted water with the potatoes to a boil. Once it has reached a boil, slightly uncover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cauliflower florets and continue to simmer for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and cauliflower, then add the milk, butter, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir to ensure everything is well combined. Set asde.
- At the same time as you are cooking the potatoes and cauliflower, heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. (This is the skillet I’m using) Add the diced onions and ½ teaspoon of salt and saute for 2 minutes.
- Add the finely minced mushrooms along with ½ teaspoon salt and saute for 7 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots to the skillet and saute for another 2 minutes.
- Push the vegetables off to the sides of the pot and add the ground beef to the center of the skillet along with ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Brown the beef for 5 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and rosemary to the skillet. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Add the frozen peas and stir to combine. Using the back of a spoon or spatula, smooth out the top of the filing so it is flat.
- Spoon the mashed topping over the top and spread the mashed topping flat to the edges of the skillet.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until slightly golden. If desired, you can use the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to brown the top some more.
- Allow the shepherd’s pie to rest for 5 to 10 minutes so it can firm up before serving.
