A Paleo Shepherd’s Pie Recipe You Can’t Live Without
This Paleo Shepherd’s Pie dish is an all time favorite of just about everyone’s and fortunately for Paleo eaters, or those on a low-carb or Banting diet, this recipe allows you to enjoy the healthy version without the carbs, grain or gluten.
In fact not only is this recipe full of healthy nutritional & real food, but it is just as tasty as the original.
You can substitute the beef for lamb, as per the traditional Shepherd’s Pie recipe, but I’ve kept it simple with the grass-fed beef so perhaps it should be called Cottage Pie, but either way it’s a tasty dish that everyone can look forward to.
Try it, I’m sure you will love it.
