NOTES from Paleo Running Momma:
*You can use your favorite mix of ground meat as well
**I used this one
***I used this can of crushed tomatoes and this can of diced tomatoes - I recommend always adding extra basil and garlic if you use plain tomatoes.
****Each slow cooker is a bit different. I cooked mine for 4 hours, you can check at 3.5 hours if you can and adjust cook time from there, if necessary. Cook time should not be longer than 4.5/5 hours or meatballs will be overcooked and dry.
Paleo Shepherd’s Pie
Whether you want to stick with the original recipe, or try this version using pureed cauliflower in place of the mashed potatoes, you can’t go wrong on a cold fall day with a good ole’ Shepherd’s Pie. When you use 100% grass fed ground beef in the filling, you've just created a meal that is sure to please the wasteline and the taste buds!
Ingredients:1 head cauliflower |

Instructions
The preparation of this meal is simple. Just steam the cauliflower in a steamer or a pressure cooker. In a separate skillet, stir fry the onions, garlic, zucchini and carrots in olive oil or coconut oil. Add the meat, salt and chili powder. In a blender, puree the cauliflower until it is smooth (adding a bit of roasted garlic to this tastes great).
In an 8x8 glass baking dish, pour the meat and veggie mixture in first, then spread the cauliflower puree on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 350°F for about 30 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Western Grassfed Beef, the Natural Beef label from Panorama Meats, works directly with U.S. family ranchers throughout the West and Midwest. All cattle are born and raised on open pasture and are fed a diet of grasses and range forage. Our natural 100% grass fed and grass finished beef is humanely raised with no antibiotics or added hormones, and always raised on pastures. We believe in supporting our rancher's way of life and in raising cattle the right way.
