Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie Recipe

This is a simple twist on the Shepherd’s pie, using sweet potato instead of normal potato, which gives the dish more flavour without the need to add extra calories with ingredients like butter and cream. In addition we've added broccoli which adds texture and goodness.

If you don’t have four ramekins, simply put all ingredients in a large oven proof casserole dish and it can be served that way.

This is a Low Fat recipe.
