In this version of the Shepherd’s pie, cauliflower is used instead of the potatoes for the mash. You can also use sweet potatoes. This is the perfect comfort food and it’s also perfectly Paleo and healthy. All the ingredients in this recipe are pretty cheap so it also makes for an inexpensive meal.
