Low Carb Shepard’s Pie. I am of the opinion that a good low carb Shepard’s Pie should be made with lamb and you know the old saying opinions are like…and you fill in the blank. This dish originated in Ireland-Scotland where there are more sheep than people and I am assuming (actually pretty sure) they made this with lamb. So, this is my easy rendition. If you thought from most of my recipes that I do not open cans once in a while then you would be wrong because, on occasion, I do and this is one of those occasions. This not fancy or pretty but it certainly is tasty and yes, if you want you can sub ground beef for ground lamb but…it will just not be as good. And no, I didn’t show a baby lamb because they are way too cute to eat but the bruisers in the picture? I could eat ’em good.

- This will produce a lot of liquid and I think you will find it will be all be soaked up by the cauliflower so that by the end of your meal you will have eaten it.
