I made a healthier version of shepherd’s pie using leftover pulled pork and starchy potatoes. Because my husband and I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to let people know about this straightforward recipe.

Ingredients

  1. 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
  2. cooking spray
  3. 1 ½ pounds cooked pulled pork
  4. 1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
  5. ½ (15 ounce) can sliced carrots, drained
  6. 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  7. ¼ cup milk
  8. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  9. ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  2. Place cauliflower in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. While cauliflower is cooking, spray an 8×10-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. Layer the bottom of the prepared dish with pulled pork. Layer peas and carrots on top of pork. Spoon cream of mushroom over the top.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 25 minutes.
  7. You can use any cheese you prefer.
