In reply to Maxine. Can this be assembled and freeze for later?

In reply to Desiree. Omg that sounds so good! My step father was born and raised in Scotland and had to have rutabaga in his potatoes and Shepard’s pie (my mom had it down)! How do you make mashed potatoes with it? I haven’t had it since he passed several years ago!!

When you freeze this, do you do so prior to cooking or after? I want to make this and freeze it for later, just not sure how to go about it! Thank you!

I make Shepherd’s pie with mashed celeric root, for my taste it, it tastes milder. You just have to make sure you remove some of the fibery strands after mashing. I mix country dijon mustard to taste in the mash and butter – so good! Ground beef and veggies of diet choice underneath.

In reply to Mazaltaj. I know this is probably a year old, but I was also wondering that. I don't like to use the frozen stuff either.

Do you freeze before or after cooking?

I’m trying to make some food for a sick friend and need something healthy and portable. Thanks

In reply to April. I too am allergic to them and sometime use an Indian spice called asafetida. It has to be activated by browning in something oily (not watery) then add the meat. One caveat though it smells terrible until incorporated so have a good fan running and seal in a tight sealing glass jar. A lot of times though I just put in a lot of other seasonings that I typically use like sage, thyme, coriander, cumin, etc. Experiment to see what you like best.

My family absolutely loved this version of Shepherd’s pie. I will definitely make this again. Thank you!

Great recipe! The kids loved it. I made them in individual ramekins and I did not have cream cheese so I put a few table spoons of plain full fat yogurt. I also could not find mixed veggies without corn so I used the one with corn. Thanks, I will be making this again.

In reply to Samantha. Yes, I spice the meat and veggies...

Love! Quick question, do you add the spice mixture to the cauliflower or the meat and veggies? I normally spice the meat and use only butter, cream cheese and pepper to the potatoes ( when I ate them, we do not anymore). I would think the cauliflower would be overally seasoned????

Thanks love your site, how helpful with sugar busters!

In reply to Layla. It does freeze well. I would think you could sneak in some extra root veggies.

I plan on making this within the next week. I was wondering if adding only one turnip or rutabaga root would impact the taste. My husband doesn’t like cooked turnip roots. He eats them like apples raw, but won’t touch them cooked. The kids pick up on this and won’t eat them either. I was hoping to sneak some in without really impacting the flavor. I was also going to add a small red potato or two. I’m pregnant and have had to increase my carb intake slightly or else I feel dizzy and tired all the time.

Would this freeze well? Usually before the baby arrives, I make a few freezer meals. Since we can’t do grains anymore, I am at a loss for what I could make and freeze. Your chicken pot pie recipe froze really well, and I plan to make two of those. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I make this too, but instead of topping with cheese I top with mashed buttery roast squash.

This sounds great, I can’t wait to try it! Has anyone done anything different to eliminate the cheese?

Hi Katie, Have been making different versions of Shepherd’s Pie for years. One of my favorite is to cook the meat and onions, add organic tomato soup, a teaspoon of dill seed and continue as stated. The tomato soup and dill seed give the dish a whole new taste. Blessings

I realize that almost all recipes call for onions and sometimes garlic as ingredients and seasonings, but I have an allergy to them. Any suggestions for substitutions?
