It was ok... Kinda bland. I had to add much more salt and garlic. next time i will add only half the amount of cauliflower because i would have liked to taste SOME of the potato. In the end I will make it again with just a few tweaks.

Sorry Ellie but this one was a miss for me. The beef and vegetable mixture had so little flavor that I wound up adding lots of other things just to give it some flavor. I added worcestershire, garlic powder, red pepper flakes to the filling. I caramelized some onions and added to the top before the potato, cauliflower topping. I did like the addition of cauliflower to the potatoes. This might be a good family meal as it's bland enough for picky kids but we like more flavor.

We loved this! I added a little bit of worcestershire sauce because I can't imagine making shepherd's pie without it. I also added more salt to everything (including the beef, the onion and carrot mixture, and the potato cauliflower mixture. I didn't put mushrooms in because I do not like them, but I added everything else. I couldn't taste the cauliflower and almost forgot that it was in there, which tells me that kids and reluctant family members won't notice either. = Will definitely make this again.

This was very good! Yes, it took me two hours to make, but it was worth it. I was skeptical about the cauliflower because I don't really like it, but I honestly couldn't taste it. I used ground sirloin and reduced sodium beef broth, as instructed in the recipe. I didn't really change much, I may have used whole milk because I didn't have low fat on hand. Some tips - I found it hard to steam the potatoes and cauliflower so they were soft enough to mash. I ended up boiling them and they were soft enough. Perhaps steam them longer, or just boil them, but I think boiling gets rid of a lot of nutrients.

Really easy to make and tastes great. I omitted the mushrooms and sprinkled fresh Parmesan on top of the potato mixture. Was a hit!

Much easier and better than Melissa D'Arabian's Shepherd's Pie. I would serve this one to company. Very very good recipe! Sometimes simple is better!

What a great healthy comfort food! Really delicious. I substituted ground elk for the ground beef and I added garlic powder and Worchestershire sauce to the potato/cauliflower mixture and sprinkled with about 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan.
My husband never knew there was cauliflower in there. He said the "potatoes" were awesome. When I make this again, I think I will try extra sharp cheddar cheese instead and will add a tad more salt to the meat/veggie part.

Gave this a try, using ground venison and adding celery, plus more carrots, and a bit of marjoram. Delicious. My husband asked that it be added to our regular dinner rotation!

This was delicious. I did use ground turkey and chicken stock instead of the beef and didn't miss a thing. Also, instead of the potato cauliflower topping I used a double recipe of George Stella's Mock Mashed Potatoes from this site. It's a great low carb alternative that uses all cauliflower and no potatoes - and it has plenty of flavor!

This recipe was delicious with just a few tweaks: I seasoned both the turkey and the vegetables with montreal seasoning. I also added a tablespoon or so of worcestershire sauce to the ground turkey. I substituted cremini mushrooms for the white mushrooms and corn for the peas. I also deglazed the pan with a little red wine in combination with the chicken stock. The flavor was wonderful!
