Ingredients for Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup frozen peas
Ingredients for Cauliflower Mash Topping:
1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the beef broth and frozen peas to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is thick and bubbly.
Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower mash topping. Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor and add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cauliflower mash topping evenly over the top of the beef mixture.
Bake the shepherd's pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
