Shepherd's Pie a la Nutritional Balancing

Shepherd’s pie is often referred to as “cottage pie,” by the English and Paté Chinois by the French Canadians; it is a casserole made of cooked meat and vegetables that is then topped with mashed potatoes and baked.

I have made this dish into a Nutritional Balancing casserole by using mashed cauliflower and carrot for the topping. This increases the nutritional content of the meal and it is legal on the program.

I hope you enjoy this comfort food as much as I do!
