Healthy Shepherd\u2019s Pie <\/em><\/strong>Recipe<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
There are so many shepherd\u2019s pie recipes on the Internet which are certainly amazing. However, I want to share this lightened up, tried and tested Healthy Shepherd\u2019s Pie with you.<\/p>\n
Since I have a goal here to show that most of your favorite dishes can be healthy and still delicious, I\u2019d like to post more popular recipes using some techniques to make food a whole lot healthier, lower in fat and good for you.<\/p>\n
This Healthy Shepherd\u2019s Pie recipe makes a super delicious, hearty meal without lots of calories. This satisfying and simple homemade pie is a really easy way to get a good-for-you dinner on the table.<\/p>\n
Shepherd\u2019s pie is that ultimate dish when proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables cook together at the same time in one pot. This pie has an excellent mix of flavors, combining juicy beef with veggies and topped with the creamy potato and cauliflower mash.<\/p>\n
You can easily substitute the vegetable mix in this recipe for bell peppers, frozen peas, frozen corn, celery, mushrooms, or a combination of all these. You won’t miss its rich taste and deliciousness.<\/p>\n
Shepherd’s pie is usually topped with mashed potatoes but we made it with a mash of half potatoes and half cauliflower. The result was amazing! You never notice that there is cauliflower in the dish, so it\u2019s an excellent hidden veggie recipe.<\/p>\n
