2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
Head of cauliflower, chopped
1/4 skim milk
2 tbsp low fat sour cream
Salt and Pepper
Optional: fresh cut chives
1 lb 93% lean ground beef
1 chopped onion, medium size

2 chopped carrots
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 cup frozen peas
1.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tsp flour
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped
1 cup fat free beef broth
Salt and pepper
1 cup creamed corn
Optional: 1-2 tbsp tomato paste


1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cauliflower and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft. Add to a blender with 1/4 cup milk, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend to desired consistency. Add some of the cooking liquid if you need more liquid.
3. In a saute pan, brown the ground beef. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan and set aside.
4. Add the vegetable oil, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until everything begins to soften up.
5. Add the ground beef, frozen peas, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and tomato paste if you are using it to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Stir in the flour and let simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Then begin the layering. Spread the beef mixture onto the bottom of your baking dish. Then pour the creamed corn over the beef and spread evenly. Then gently spread the mashed potatoes and cauliflower across.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbling. Consider broiling for the last 3-4 minutes to brown the top. Enjoy!
