Sloppy Joe Shepherd's Pie

recipe from culinary lion

Sloppy Joe Mix

3 lbs ground beef  (I've also done 2 lb ground beef & 1 lb sausage)
1 green bell pepper
1 onion
1 jalapeno broiled to roast and then thinly sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup keto ketchup
1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp general spice mix
1 tsp Hawaiian sea salt

Cauliflower Mash

1 head cauliflower rough chopped
4 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp Hawaiian sea salt


Steam cauliflower until it's fork tender; then puree in blender with dairy. Once completely blended, stir in salt. Set aside while preparing sloppy joe mixture.

In a cast iron skillet, melt butter before adding your diced onions and bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat until veggies are tender.

Add ground beef to the skillet breaking the meat down into a even mixture. Once beef is almost fully cooked drain off any excess grease and turn heat down to low. Then stir in your ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire and spices. Simmer to combine flavors.

Dollop your cauliflower mash in the center of the skillet and gently spread around covert the whole pan edge to edge. Top with cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeños.

Broil on high for just long enough to brown the cheese. (About 3-5 minutes). Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
