    Individual Cottage Pie with Cauliflower Mash

    Ground beef bursting with flavor and cauliflower mash that tastes just like the real deal. Isn't it great when you can eat classic comfort food with zero guilt?? It's super great.

    Cottage Pie is something that we occasionally ate when I was a kid, and I really loved it. Then not too long ago, we had dinner at my aunt's place - she made Cottage Pie with cauliflower mash. Genius!

    To the first person who made cauliflower mash ever, whoever you are: Thank you, and I love you.

    Individual Cottage Pie with Cauliflower Mash

    Yesterday I decided to make my own version of cottage pie and cauliflower mash. We were supposed to go out and hit an expert biking trail, but *sigh*, Cody hurt his back. So, we decided it would be best to postpone.

    It all turned out great in the end though. We dragged a mattress into the living room and watched movies all day, one of them being The Conjuring. I've been too scared to watch it since it came out. I think the anticipation too much, so I was slightly disappointed and less scared than I expected to be.

    The Cottage Pie, on the other hand, turned out so great that it might be my new favorite low carb meal. I'm not kidding.

    I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that blending up cauliflower with a bit of butter, cream and garlic would be so insanely delicious. Maybe I have weird tastebuds, but this stuff tastes just like mashed potatoes to me. Magic.

    Putting this into ramekins was me trying to make a simple home meal a little more fancy. I think I succeeded. It definitely made it taste better! (Joke... it'll taste great however you serve it.)

      Sorry, your cheese confused me. You want 1/2 cup cheese added to mash, rest on top. Thats really stretching the 1/3 cup recipe stated. What am I missing?

        Yes, we added half a cup in the mash, and the remaining we sprinkled on top. To not overload the cheese we literally just did a small sprinkle of top of the 4 servings. You're free add more to yours if you love cheese, of course!:)
