Take the classic comfort food for a new spin by swapping heavy potatoes with hearty vegetables in this Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces, about 9 cups

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 500-g pkg lean ground beef

  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth

  • 1 156-mL can tomato paste

  • 1/4 cup HP sauce

  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, such as peas and carrots

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler to high.

  • Boil a large pot of water. Add cauliflower and cook, covered, until tender, 12 to 15 min. Drain well then transfer to a food processor. Whirl with milk, 2 tbsp butter and salt until smooth.

  • Melt remaining 1 tbsp butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 min. Crumble in beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink, 4 min. Add beef broth, tomato paste and HP sauce. Season with fresh pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until saucy, 5 to 6 min. Stir in mixed frozen vegetables and cook until warmed through, 4 to 5 min.
