This Cauliflower Keto Shepherd’s Pie Recipe is a delicious low carb dish that is perfect for the whole family. Be sure to add it to your keto menu plan!
Shepherds Pie is one of those dishes that is often a family staple. For years I have been making this low carb version that is perfect for those who may be following a ketogenic lifestyle. It’s as simple as swapping out the traditional mashed potato topping for mashed cauliflower. I use garlic mashed cauliflower for an even tastier, more flavourful addition to this recipe.

My kids are also big fans of these Cheesy Meatloaf and Mashed Cauliflower Cups which are very similar to this Shepherd’s Pie recipe but without all of the obvious veggies.
This Keto Shepherds Pie was a big hit with the kids too! Too busy to make this right away?! Pin it for later! Pin this post to your favorite recipe board on Pinterest and it’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready.
How to make Keto Shepherd’s Pie:

2. Next, layer a 7×11″ casserole dish with the meat and vegetable mixture.
3. Then, add peas and crumbled bacon.
4. Finally, top with herb and garlic mashed cauliflower. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Tips for keto cooking:
- Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Like cauliflower instead of perogies and radishes instead of potatoes.
- Maintain a healthy balance of protein and fats. Sometimes its hard to get enough fat and/or protein in a ketogenic diet so be sure to include a balance of both in your dishes.
- Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.
- Find recipes that you love, like this Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, Taco Bake and Hamburger Soup, and use them in your weekly rotation.
- Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools like this food scale, these measuring cups and a Kitchen Aid mixer.
