We're making keto cottage pie in a
mug without any cauliflower, let's go. Who doesn't love cottage pie we've got ground
beef at the bottom with a little bit of vegetables and it's nice and juicy... and the issue with the
cottage pie on keto is the mesh. Now, we normally do a cauliflower mash but some people don't like
the taste and if you're using cauliflower as a rice substitute you may be tired of cauliflower.
So in this video we're going to make a potato out of something else. We have flavored this with
dried thyme and we have bone broth in there a little bit of pepper and of course seasoned with
salt, and we've made it a little juicy with some bone broth or beef broth and you can also add a
little bit of Worcestershire sauce.
So how does it taste? Pretty damn good! Well that's a pretty
good recommendation for me. Your nutritional information and your shopping list is listed in
the description box and let's get into the recipe now. Let's prepare the meat filling first.
Over a medium heat add one tablespoon of oil I used avocado, then a fully packed half cup of
ground beef, two tablespoons of diced onion and two tablespoons of diced carrot, or alternatively
use your favorite keto approved vegetables. I then broke up the meat and let they cook for about five
minutes and seasoned with a pinch of black pepper, one teaspoon of dried thyme and
between two to four tablespoons of beef stock or broth depending
on how juicy you want it to be. Give it a final stir and check that the
meat is cooked then add it to your mug.
To make a keto mashed potato add two
tablespoons of coconut flour to a bowl, one eigth of a teaspoon of xanthan gum
which is about two pinches, a pinch of salt, add two tablespoons of boiling water
and mix that together until it looks crumbly. If you find it too dry do add another
tablespoon of boiling water and mix again. Now to flavor the mash. Add one tablespoon of
almond milk, one tablespoon of melted butter or oil, and a sprinkle of dried thyme and give
that a final mix, then spoon the mash onto the ground beef mixture in the mug. Do taste the
mash now as you may wish to add more salt. I added a couple of tablespoons
of shredded cheese as that's how some people like it. Microwave for 60
seconds if you have a 700 watt microwave, or 45 seconds if you have a thousand watt
microwave and your keto cottage pie is ready.
Now that you've seen the recipe you will
notice that we spend a little more time cooking your meat and making your mash and
really it's just one minute in the microwave, but the total cooking time is about 10
minutes and you can actually make your mash while your meat's cooking so that'll cut
the time down even more. I really hope you get to try this lovely simple dish. Thank you
so much for watching stay safe and be well..
