Instant Pot Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie Paleo Whole30 Lactose Free Recipes

INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO SHEPHERD'S PIE (PALEO, WHOLE30, LACTOSE-FREE)

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup of water in to the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Place trivet inside and put the sweet potato pieces on top of the trivet. Close the lid and set pressure release valve to sealing. Press the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" button and set timer for 8 minutes.
• Once the cooking cycle has completed, quick release the pressure. Open the lid, and carefully transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large bowl, cover with a lid or plate, and set aside. Pour the water out of the inner pot and dry completely with a paper towel.
• Put the inner pot back into the Instant Pot and press the "Saute" button. Once the display reads "Hot," add the ground beef, carrots, green beans, onion and garlic. Using a plastic spoon, break up the ground beef into smaller pieces and saute with the vegetables for 12 minutes or until carrots are tender, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, add almond/coconut milk, ghee and nutmeg to the potatoes and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Recover bowl and set aside.
• Once the filling mixture has finished cooking, press the "Cancel" button on the Instant Pot and using hotpads, carefully remove the inner pot and place on a pot holder. Add the salt, pepper, oregano and thyme to the inner pot and stir to mix thoroughly.
• Preheat broiler and plate oven rack to the top position. While the broiler preheats, using a slotted spoon, spoon the filling mixture into a casserole dish (I use an 8" x 11" glass baking dish) and spread evenly in the dish. Scoop the potatoes onto the filling and spread evenly with a spatula. Broil for 5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Remove from the oven once the potatoes are a bit crusty on the top and the juices in the meat mixture are bubbling. Serve and enjoy!
