Keto SHEPHERD’S PIE - The BEST Low Carb Shepherds Pie Recipe! *Low Carb Shepherd’s Pie* by Highfalutin’ Low Carb www.highfalutinlowcarb.com/low-carb-shepherds-pie/ Shepherd’s pie is a comfort food that spans both time and distance. Popular on multiple continents, the layers of minced meat, tender vegetables, and fluffy potato topping is universally loved. This keto version swaps cauliflower for the mashed pota- toes and tender green beans for the traditional carrots, all on top of a flavorful base of ground beef. Try substituting ground lamb for the beef, to get a truly authentic pub-style classic. #shepherdspie #lowcarbshepherdspie #ketoshepherdspie -------------- FOR THE CAULIFLOWER 1 pound frozen cauliflower florets 4 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder FOR THE BEEF 2 pounds ground beef 1 small onion, diced 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper FOR THE VEGETABLES 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 pound green beans, chopped 1/2 pound white button mushrooms, sliced 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese TO MAKE THE CAULIFLOWER 1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine all the ingredients. 2. Cover with a plate and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes on high. Stir well and cook, covered, for another 5 minutes or until tender. 3. Use a potato masher or large slotted spoon to mash the cauliflower to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375°F. TO MAKE THE BEEF 4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the beef and onion. Cook until the beef is browned and broken apart and the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat. 5. Add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. 6. Evenly spread the beef in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. TO MAKE THE VEGETABLES 7. In the same skillet used to cook the beef, combine the butter, green beans, mushrooms, and garlic powder. Sauté until the beans are tender, about 8 minutes. Spread the bean mixture on top of the ground beef in the casserole dish. 8. Evenly spread the mashed cauliflower on top. Sprinkle with the cheddar. 9. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and cook for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese and brown the top. Serve. TIP: This recipe uses frozen cauliflower, but fresh cauliflower is also great. Regardless of which you select, the cauliflower can also be steamed on the stovetop instead of cooked in the microwave. Add about an inch of water to the pot, cover, and cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork tender. -------------- *Y'all, just so we're all clear, I'm only here to test recipes.

Dear Americans. Shepherd’s pie is made with lamb (with beef it’s cottage pie). And both involve GRAVY, not just loose ground meat. Gelatin and/or sodium alginate-thickened beef stock, including fond from the skillet your meat was browned in, incorporated into the minced (ground) meat. Make it thick so that when slightly cooled in the dish it can support the layer of ‘mashed potato’ substitute, building around from the edges using a spoon towards the middle helps create the top layer on a less solid meat base. Thank you. 😂

Sahil from Headbanger’s Kitchen uses the food processor and adds an egg yolk to the cauliflower mash and it’s so rich and silky. I would definitely recommend trying it. I haven’t been on keto for 2 years but still enjoy your videos Wes!

Cottage pie with beef. Shepherds pie ground lamb.

I'm 76 and I still have my mothers that I use!

I purchased your book and love this recipe! I do a couple of versions of something close to Shepherds Pie. One version the filling is like a chicken pot pie. The second is a base of Chili Colorado and I top the cauliflower mash with pepper Jack cheese. It’s really the time of year for a dish of comfort food 🥰 So glad you are back 💜

Great addition to your collection of videos, Wes! For the cauliflower, if you want more of a "mashed potato" consistency, you can add some cream cheese and use an immersion blender. Might mess with the macros just a little but would be worth it to me. :)

We got our "thing a ma jig" from our fry daddy a million years ago! Absolutely love it!!

I found a keto shepherd's pie recipe on Heavenly Fan's YT channel and the cauliflower mash is to die for. She recommends making sure the cooked cauliflower isn't too soft - cooked but firm - and adds a great dollop of coconut oil and some olive oil to it and then uses the stick blender to mash it up. I swear, it's sooooo creamy, smooth n delicious but not sloppy (is why to keep the cooked cauliflower firm) and is EVEN BETTER than mashed potato! I just wanted to share that tidbit of info bc I'm so impressed with it. Lovin' yer channel Wes!

I use my immersion blender on cauliflower and it works wonderful. Perfect mashed potatoes and I add in all my different flavors that I like, like garlic, Parmesan, butter and sour cream.

My grandmother had a thingamajig and I immediately thought of her when I saw it. 🥰

Wes Shoemaker is a God send. He has helped me to learn that ‘Keto Can make your Body into a Fat eater’ from your own body….. I’m sold. He knows what he says. I’ve been following him 5 years - even in the pandemic. You are my ‘Rock Star’ Wes Shoemaker. An I told you many times, Thank You, Sir.?

That thing a ma jig is perfect for scooping a poached egg 🥚

I purchased your book. I was amazed that it is chock full of wonderful easy to make recipes. Thank you. I use to live in San Diego. We now live in Temecula. Hope you enjoy the lovely weather. ❤

I like to use my immersion blender with cooked cauliflower because it makes it smooth like instant potatoes lol

Oh looks so yummy. I found the Chef Craft store has that gadget slotted spatula on Amazon. It’s around $7. Thank you Wes for the recipe. Cooking is all about making memories. I’m glad your daddy still cooks. I have my grandma’s cast iron skillet and her bread knife. Great grandpa was a bread maker.

I bought your cookbook and adore this dish! I make a few variations of something resembling shepherd's pie. One variation has a chicken pot pie-like filling. The pepper Jack cheese is sprinkled on top of the cauliflower mash in the second, which has a base of chili Colorado. The season is ideal for a plate of comfort food. I'm happy you're back. 💜

Good to see you buddy!!! Love it!!!

You look great! I love shepherds pie (cottage pie). Prince William and Henry's favorite dish as children!

I have a Thingamajig from my grandmother exactly like yours and I love it too!

Thank you Wes.... appreciate all you do .....

Wes, you are just my favorite period.

Hi Wes, great Cottage pie, Shepherds pie is with lamb, for years I always called it Shepherds pie to lol, until watching Ramsay cooking a Cottage pie, that's when I learnt the difference between shepherd's and cottage.. great vid..good to see you back..

I have a thing-a-ma-jig too! No paint on the handle anymore too. Older than I am (and I'm 61). Love it!

Love Shepards pie! I make mine just like yours except i make a little creamy sauce, it helps hold it all together. ❤

Looks like the perfect down to earth stick to your ribs winter supper. Thanks! 😊

I literally just said I wanted shepherds pie yesterday! Can't wait to try this 🙂

That slotted spatula came as standard equipment in the "Fry Daddy" of the 70's.

Thank you! Your personality really makes the difference in your videos and I love the way that it shines through when you do real people things like forget something☺️

I made this lady week and it was delicious!! I have your book and plan to make more.

Omg Wes! You have lost so much weight since I last watched your videos! Congratulations 👏 on your weightloss. I don't make keto recipes anymore because the high fat in the recipes caused my bad cholesterol to get bad, but I still occasionally like watching your videos from time to time and just sub the recipes sometimes with lower fat ingredients. My dietician had me lower my sat fat and number of total fat per day and I've learned to work around or create new recipes from the old keto ones I used to do.

I was so sad when I looked over and saw that I had been unsubscribed to your channel. I don’t understand why YT does that sometimes. So glad I finally realized it and resubscribed.

This sound so good live to see you back your looking good

I use a stick mixer (immersion blender) and add cream for the cauliflower mash and cook from fresh in the microwave for 10 minutes

For something different or to change things up…..to the cauliflower instead of 4 tsp of butter do 2 butter 2 cream cheese melted in the microwave…for the aromatics do: add 1/4 cup each of chopped flat leaf parsley, chives, dill, tarragon and salt to your liking.

Boy that looks so good!!! I like mine with a little gravy and I'll probably try it with parsnips which is my mash potato alternative of choice. Those string beans and button mushrooms look absolutely phenomenal! All day yes!!! Thanks Wes! 💗💗💗

Glad to see you back, Wes! I’ve made this from your book and really like it.

23 seconds in, and my first thought is.......... You're lookin' trim! You've visibly lost some weight! Good for you, man!!

They have those thingamajigs at the Asian store! They’re great to use in woks!

Ooh ❤️ Shepherds Pie is my favorite 😍 This looks amazing! Thank you!

The name of that great utensil is a Kitchamajig by EKCO

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Wes🎄😁⭐!

I am in the middle of changing my diet for the better for the first time and this video showed up in my feed this is the best recipe I have seen on RU-vid for people who want to make a change and eat healthier and continue to eat a favorite like shepherd’s pie

Oh, perfect! It’s almost 5:00 by the time I’m watching and I think this will be dinner! I have your cookbook and always think it looks so good, but I always seem to be missing the cauliflower, green beans or mushrooms and I want the full monte! Today I just got my grocery delivery and I have all three and hadn’t thought of your Shepherd’s Pie. The universe knew this was my chance, though! 😂 Can’t wait to put it together. Don’t tell the keto police, but I’m dicing up a small to medium carrot and tossing it in. It adds 3-4 net carbs for the entire casserole, so 1/2 carb max per serving and another texture and flavor in the mix. Plus I have one lonely carrot lurking in my fridge that won’t last forever! Love the cookbook, BTW!

Great to see you back !😊

Ooo one of my keto favs....i add a roast garlic to the mash it lifts it so much x

I had a “thing a ma jig” that I got with a Presto Fry Daddy in the 80s. Looked just like that but a different handle!

Pyrex decided they were going to update their bakeware. They wanted to make it more stylish than just plain old clear glass. I believe there was a brown too.

Wes, thank you for the cookbook plug, I just ordered that. I also found the thingamajiggy! This will be dinner tonight. I'm excited

The better term to use when hunting for the Thingamajig is Kitchamajig. That's what Ekco called it and what's stamped on the back. Great video, Wes. Love Shepherd's Pie.

You look great! Thank you so much for your content. It’s the best!

Love my thing-a-ma-jig. Was my grannies-and I’m 65, so it’s a little old!

I just got my book last week. Love it!!!!!

Dude I was just thinking about you two nights ago wondering why I haven't seen a video from you and whether or not it was a RU-vid thing or are you too busy thing and here you are. The universe listens. And RU-vid sucks because they don't show me anybody I'm subscribed to anymore

So glad to see you doing some of your own recipes. I have the book and have made the shepherd's pie . It is yummy!!

Amazon has a Thingamajig for $5.98, but it's called Chef Craft Select Slotted Sturdy Skimmer, 13 inch, Stainless Steel.

Yum! As a vintage kitchen ware collector its called a Kitchamajig by Ekco!! I have several of them and love them. They always seem to be included in kitchen lots at estate sales and auctions. They are great for folding liquids together in baking. I may have misheard it but thought you called it a Thingamajig. If I misheard you I'm sorry! I've made a similar cottage pie recipe but added some heavy whipping cream to the cauliflower mash for a less grainy texture. It adds a couple carbs, but worth it in the end for a smoother mashed fauxtatoe texture. I love the mushroom addition in your recipe, brilliant!! Thank you for everything you do!

The slotted spoon is actually called a kitchamajig!

Sounds good. Hate it when equipment malfunctions. Great video none the less.

Love love love your video's!!

I recently bought that same induction cooktop and I love it. I do not have a stove so this is how I cook everything. It's not the one on your Amazon list, but the one that is there is not available anyway! You might want to edit it.

You should update this video with the Carnivore Mashed Potatoes! Macros would improve and would be more like a true shepherds pie!

My hubby and I just made a shepherd's pie the other day and totally forgot you have a recipe in your cookbook! Now we'll have to make it again 😂

Wes, just tried this recipe last night and it was such a hit with the hubby and myself! Thank you so much for the recipe!

I have a thingamajig too have no idea where I got it lol love it too

Try potato extract. You used corn extract several years ago and I was sold on them. I have my mom’s thingamajig. I’m in my 70s and remember it as a child.

Thanks for the recipe ❤

Thank you!

Looks yum, but cottage pie (beef) or Shepherd's pie (lamb) isn't dry. The mince is made a gravy... I usually make a cheesy celeriac mash to top mine.... x

Wes you instigator!! I went to ebay and found a very nice Kitchamajig (with a wooden handle), and purchased it! I seem to remember using one back in the day, and they were very useful. Thank you!!

To make the meat less crumbly I'd imagine you could add a little cheese to it to maintain structure. 😁 Looks absolutely delicious!

My mom still uses that slotted spoon thing

Looking great Wes!!!

Love your channel This is Cottage pie as it has beef. Shepards pie has Lamb

Love that you say Luck enough to have a hunter. I've used venison in your recipes and it's great. Truly appreciate all you do.

This is one of my favorites from your book (pre ordered it; love the book) along with the chicken corn chowder, which I modified a bit but so good! I remember that thingamajig in my grandma's house! Good seeing you again Wes, always a pleasurable experience.

This recipe is one of my Gotos! Love your cookbook, Wes, I got it as soon as it came out! Thank you!

It's possible to make a crust for the top using Carbquik. I aslo have the same utensil as you have, it belonged to my mother , of course I'm 73 so mine is an antique.

Just found you. Please give us more recipe comparisons more often. Could you feature Farmer’s Bread in one. More cookie recipes too. More bar recipes. Chocolate and vanilla pudding recipes. Impossible savory pies we used to make with Bisquick where crust forms magically. 😊 Thank you for all you do.

I have 2 of your thingamajigs and have used them all of my 67+years😁 since mom used them too.

This would be good with Chris Cooking Nashville's Carnivore mashed potatoes. I will be making it soon.

you do great work. ordered your book. thanks

So in case someone wants the "thingamajig" it actually a stainless steel slotted skimmer. You can purchase them on Amazon or at Walmart for cheap. I love mine! We have always used one since I was a kid to scoop fries out of the hot oil. This dish looks very tasty and the recipe looks to be full of flavor!

We had a thingamajig around our house when I was a kid. Ours had the plain, metal, loop-shaped handle. I think Mom still has it, actually. It was perfect for getting things out of the fryer.

I have added 1 tablespoon of jalepeno juice to mashed cauliflower. You do NOT taste jalepeno juice but it counters the taste of cauliflower.

Thank you!!!

Been watching you for years. You are hilarious and brighten my day. Congrats on your weight-loss, you look amazing

It's cold and rainy over here and I'm so ready to try this

looks dry cauliflower can be more moist . looks good

haha in Australia, we call any item that we can't remember the name of a "thingamajig" - E.g. "pass me the....what's that thing called? - that thingamajig" - it might not be just an Aussie thing, but I couldn't stop laughing because when I heard you say it, I thought you actually couldn't remember the name of your tool - and I was astounded that a thingamajig is actually a "thing"

I have that thing-a-ma-jig. 😂 I've had it for so many years, I don't even know where I got it. Mine has a metal handle though. I love shepherd's pie. Thank you for the recipe. I'm trying this recipe tonight.

Hope I’m not being redundant, but the wonderful utensil you are using goes by the name of “Kitchamajig”, at least here in New England, where they show up regularly at our myriad of antique shops. What saddens me, is that someone still makes them, and they market the all metal ones as scoops for Kitty Litter! I wore out my Mother’s Kitchamajig decades ago, and then seeing it as the litter scoop has held me back from replacing it. Now, its been quite a while since we had cats, and I might just purchase a wood handled one if I see it at a shop. Thanks for all your work, sharing recipes with us! Pat in NH 🤗

Looks Yummy! I have your book so I'll give it a go. I have a "thingamajig" but when I bought it, it was called a skimmer.

Great morning to you🙏😎

Darn! I used to have a thing-a-ma=jig and it's gone missing! I will be making this recipe!

Before Keto Shepherds Pie was one of my staples so naturally after starting Keto I had to figure it out. For my cauliflower mash I roast my flowerets first for extra flavor. Then I use my food processor - I add butter, cream cheese, and add heavy cream as needed for the perfect whipped, light and fluffy, result. Soooo much better than mashed potatoes, however I have noticed that they cool down much quicker, assuming because of the lack of starch.

I love my thingamajig. My handle fell off and only has the metal , still use cause l just love it. I also love shephards pie. Mmmmm. Thank you. Looks delish. 😘🇨🇦

Yeah!!!!!

Had a good laugh. Watched this video and you talked about the metal thing your using. Went to my local pet store and they had many of those hanging on a rack. Used as kitty liter scoops. Same exact item.... but good news, thought about ya. Love your shows.

I have one of those "thingamajigs"!! Mine was in with my first Fry Daddy that I received as a wedding present in 1977. The Fry Daddy is long gone but my thingamajig is just fine! I use it all the time. ☺
