I've been making his recipes for roughly a year and have yet to find one that my picky children don't like. My families favorite recipe is the butternut squash mac 'n' cheese. His recipes are a staple in my meal prepping in my house and I couldn't be more satisfied."

A delicious twist on traditional shepherd's pie, made with ground beef and topped with mashed butternut squash.

Butternut Squash Shepherd’s Pie

Peel, slice, and cube your butternut squash. Add to a pot of salted boiling water. Boil until fork tender.

Brown your ground beef. While it browns, begin chopping your veggies.

Strain the squash when cooked, then add back to pot. Add all ingredients listed under mashed squash and mash together.

When beef has browned add in all veggies and garlic. With heat on medium, allow veggies to soften—7-8 minutes. When they’ve softened add in flour and stir until flour dissolves.

Add in your stock and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until combined. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken. Preheat oven to 400°.

Smooth out meat mixture. Top with mashed squash and use a spatula to smooth out. Place in oven for 30 minutes.

Remove and let set up for 5-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
