Upside Down Shepherd's Pies
We are changing things up! Shepherd's Pie with a twist. Traditionally, Shepherd's Pie is made from lamb (hence the "Shepherd's")... this one is made from beef. Traditionally, the potato is on top, we have turned it upside down! Rather than topping your mince mixture with potato, we are topping our potato with mince. This is a hearty delicious dinner perfect for a cold winters night, which is also grainfree. Team up with our Mini Coconut Dinner Rolls for more grainfree goodness.
