Shepherd’s Pie

For the Mashed Cauliflower:
Cook the cauliflower for 12-15 minutes or until very tender. Drain and discard all of the water (the drier the cauliflower is, the better). Process in food processor until mashed potato like consistency. Add the cream cheese, butter, salt and pepper about midway through.

Brown burger and cook vegetables
Combine Tomato Soup, burger, and vegetables

In a glass baking dish; layer the veggie, burger, soup mixture in glass baking dish, top with mashed cauliflower.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 F for 45 minutes. Remove foil and broil for a few minutes to brown topping if you would like.

A delicious take on this traditional dish with a fraction of the carbs and calories. Dare I say, the mashed cauliflower might just make it taste even better than “the original”?


Enjoy!
