Using the ingredients for a complete meal listed above, calculate out your recipe in the KetoDietCalculator. I have listed William's recipe at the bottom of this post for reference.

Instructions:
Begin by preparing your cauliflower mash. Steam your cauliflower until very tender, drain and mash/blend until smooth. Since the cauliflower is weighed after cooking I recommend making a bit more than you need. After mashing or blending you can scoop out the portion you need and mix it with the butter and set aside.

While your cauliflower is steaming start prepping the filling by adding your celery, carrots, mushrooms and olive oil to a pan and cook over medium heat until tender. Once your veggies are tender, add your cooked ground beef, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and spices to the pan and reduce to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Pour the filling into an oven safe dish and spread evenly. Then add the cauliflower mash and spread evenly with a spatula making sure to cover all the filling. A small pinch of salt and/or pepper can be added to the mash.

Place the Shepard's Pie in the broiler on hi for a few minutes to brown the mash, remove when it's done to your liking and serve warm!
