A comforting classic reimagined! This shepherd's pie swaps traditional potatoes for a creamy cauliflower mash, creating a lighter, yet equally satisfying, dish perfect for a cozy night in. Tender pulled pork, sweet peas and carrots, and a rich mushroom sauce come together under a golden blanket of cheesy cauliflower.

Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step
7 mins

Place cauliflower in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

03

Step
1 mins

While cauliflower is cooking, spray an 8x10-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

04

Step
3 mins

Layer the bottom of the prepared dish with pulled pork. Layer peas and carrots on top of pork. Spoon cream of mushroom over the top.

05

Step
5 mins

Using a potato masher, mash cauliflower as you would potatoes. Add milk slowly as you mash to a creamy, but chunky, texture. Add mashed cauliflower to the top of your casserole. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the dish with foil.

06

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 25 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the cauliflower mash.
If you don't have pulled pork on hand, shredded chicken or ground beef also work well in this recipe.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses for topping. Gruyere or Monterey Jack would be delicious alternatives to Cheddar.
To prevent the cauliflower from becoming watery, make sure to drain it thoroughly after cooking.

    The cauliflower mash was a little watery for me. Next time, I'll make sure to drain the cauliflower really well.
