Ever since making my Easy Low Carb Pie Crust, I’ve been experimenting with a bunch of new recipes!

This crust is great for savoury recipes like this one or my Low Carb Taco Pie, as well as sweet recipes like my Low Carb Pumpkin Pie.

I love Shepard’s Pie because 1) it’s so easy to make, and 2) you get all your protein and veggies in one dish! It’s the perfect weeknight dinner for the family.

We all loved the buttery cauliflower topping on the pie, however, I think next time I’m going to experiment with sweet potato as a topping for something different. It will add more carbs, but it will add some nice flavour too.

Just because I tend to eat lower carb, doesn’t meant I don’t eat ZERO carb!! Carbs are very important for women and our hormones, so please don’t be afraid of them.

This Low Carb Shepard’s Pie is great for leftovers too! I froze some so I could have it for lunch and it tasted just as good.

Another option would be to use ground chicken instead of the beef!
