Ingredients for Low Carb Cottage Pie

500g (1lb) hamburger mince

Med onion or 3 inches of leek

2 cups of low carb frozen vegetables (e.g. no potato, sweet potato or corn)

Your favorite savory flavorings.

These are three of my favorite flavors

I used the three of these in my cottage pie.

Use any savory favorites just keep a watch on their carbohydrate content.

Other ingredients for the top of the pie

1 medium cauliflower

2 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of fresh cream

A little salt and pepper to taste

1 cup of grated tasty cheese

Method for Low Carb Cottage Pie

Brown the mince in a pan along with the onion

Add the flavorings

Add the frozen vegetables

Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender.

Wash and cut the cauliflower into pieces. The cauliflower can be boiled in a small amount of water or it can be steamed.

Do not overcook the cauliflower. Use a sharp knife to test if it is cooked. If it does overcook, don’t worry, the topping will be not so firm but will still taste great.

When the cauliflower is just tender, drain off as much water as possible. Us a masher to break up the cauliflower and then use a stick blender to make a smooth topping. Add the butter and cream, salt and pepper. I also like to add a teaspoon of curry powder. Blend everything together, it should be thick and smooth.

Place the cooked meat and vegetables in a casserole dish

Now add the topping and the cheese

Place in a moderate oven.  The ingredients are already cooked so leave it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese and slightly brown the top.

A generous serve of this delicious low carb cottage pie would yield 6-10 carbs.

Lots of healthy vegetables in this recipe that you will want to make often.
