Low Fat Shepherd's Pie! image

I got this recipe from the About.com Low Fat Blog and modified it a little bit. My boyfriend, who studied for a year abroad in England, said that his English roommates would be proud! For a twist and some more color, try it with sweet potatoes!

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb extra lean ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup fat free low-sodium beef broth
1 (16 ounce) can peas, drained
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch slices

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or wok, saute carrots and onion in oil on medium-low heat until soft (about 10 minutes).
  • Turn heat up to medium, and add in ground beef. Cook until no longer pink.
  • Add in Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, peas, and spices. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

  • Bake in oven for about 20 minutes until potato topping begins to golden up.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The gravy was too runny and the vegetables were mushy.

This recipe seems a bit complicated. I'm not sure if I have the time to make it.

I'm not sure about the cauliflower topping. I might try it with mashed potatoes instead.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover carrots, celery, and peas and they worked perfectly in this dish.

I wasn't sure how I would like the cauliflower topping, but it was actually really good. It was a nice change from the traditional mashed potato topping.

This low-fat shepherd's pie was a hit with my family! It had all the classic flavors of the traditional dish, but without the guilt. I especially loved the creamy mashed cauliflower topping.
