Keto Shepherd's Pie
This is inspired by one of Rachel's favorite dishes from The Cheesecake Factory. In this recipe I'm using ground beef, but I've also used it with ground lamb when its available at Penn Dutch. Depending on what your carb requirements are, you can substitute the green beans with Edamame beans.
