​Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Topping

I mentioned last week that it was time to pick out some casserole dishes to make for meal prep, so here is another good one! If you've never made a paleo Shepherd's Pie before then you are missing out. I have never made one that I disliked, plus they are super simple to prep and throw in a casserole dish to bake. I decided to try out this new recipe below, but if you scroll through the casseroles category (on the side bar to the right) you can find a couple other ones that I've made in the past (or you can just type Shepherd’s Pie in the search bar). This particular one turned out amazing though! I diced the pepper, onion, and carrots in the food processor because I was lazy this weekend and did not want to do any chopping. Just throwing that note out there for anyone else that finds chopping to be too consuming. Also, the original recipe calls for flaxseed meal instead of egg whites, so if you have that ingredient and want to use it then check out the link below. This Shepherd's Pie turned out so delicious and is definitely worth trying!

Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Topping
Ingredients:
  • 2 lb. grass-fed ground beef
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped 
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 ounces tomato paste 
  • 2 egg whites (I used 4 Tbsp Egg Whites)
Sweet Potato Topping​:
  • 3-4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed 
  • 1-2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375℉.
  2. In a skillet on medium heat. Begin to brown ground beef.
  3. Once beef is partially browned, add chopped carrots, onions, peppers and minced garlic.
  4. Cook on medium heat until carrots are soft, about 10 minutes. You may begin making the topping while the meat filling cooks.
  5. Once the carrots are soft, stir in tomato paste, egg whites, seasonings salt and pepper.
  6. For the topping: Steam or bake (at 375℉.) the sweet potatoes until fork tender. Then add all of the topping ingredients to a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth.
  7. Final step: transfer the meat filling to a large casserole dish and top the meat filling with the Sweet Potato Mash.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.
