Paleo Shepherd’s Pie might actually be better than the traditional version! With sweet potatoes and a rich tomato gravy, it’s fantastic comfort food.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium Sweet Potato
  • 2-3 tablespoons Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 1 Zucchini Squash halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 Carrot diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 6 ounce can Tomato Paste
  • 1/4 cup Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch dish with paleo-friendly oil.
  • Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Let cook until fork-tender. Drain and return to pot. Mash with coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add ground beef, onion, zucchini, and carrots. Cook, breaking up the beef, until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through. Add garlic and cook until fragrant; only about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste, coconut milk, coconut aminos, dried thyme, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly. Bring to a bubble and let cook until thickened.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and spread mashed sweet potatoes over top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until thoroughly heated through.
