This is a whole 30 Shepherd's Pie recipe that I found on a blog called Tasty Thin. We love it a lot!!

1 T ghee
1 C diced carrots
1 C diced onion
1/2 C diced celery
1 1/2 t minced garlic
1 lb ground beef
1/2 T all purpose salt free seasoning (2 T garlic powder, 2 T onion powder, 1 T chili powder, 1 T paprika, 1 T parsley, 1 1/2 t black pepper)
2 T tomato paste
1 T coconut aminos
1 C chicken broth
1 C spinach leaves, chopped
2 C mashed potatoes made in instant pot


1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the carrots, onion and celery. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until veggies soften.
3. Add garlic, beef, and seasoning. Break up beef until browned.
4. Stir in tomato paste, coconut aminos, broth and spinach. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone.
5.  Place meat mixture in a large baking dish and spread mashed potatoes on top. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Broil for the last few minutes for a golden crust.
