Belt Bustin' Shepard's Pie
(http://vegweb.com)
Ingredients:
2 12 oz packages veggie "ground beef"
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 can creamed corn
1 can sweet whole kernel corn
1 cup frozen sweet peas
1 1/2 pounds of baby red potatoes, washed well
2 tablespoon fresh, thinly sliced chives
1 tablespoon minced garlic (add more or use less depending on
your tastes)
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine / soy butter
salt and pepper to taste
a sprinkle or two of paprika (optional)
Directions:
- Set the oven at 350 degrees.
- Put your potatoes on to boil in enough salted water to cover
them.
- While your potatoes are cooking, saute the onion in a large
skillet with 1 tsp olive oil until it begins to look translucent.
Add in "ground beef" and cook until heated through, salt and pepper
to taste and remove from heat.
- Transfer "beef" to a non-greased baking dish, a 10" deep dish
casserole or a 9"x13" rectangular pan will work fine.
- Open your cans of corn and spread them each in a layer over the
"beef", do the same with your frozen peas and set aside.
- At this point your potatoes should be cooked through and ready
for a good mashing. Pour off the water, toss in your garlic, chives,
margarine/soy butter, salt & pepper and mash to your favorite
consistency.
- Spread the mashed potatoes over the rest of your pie and
sprinkle with the optional paprika.
- Place pie on a foil-lined cookie sheet - (the pie will become
very bubbly, you will want to catch the spill over)- and bake for 30
-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and golden and the
juices from the "beef" and veggies are bubbling around the edges.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes and serve with a nice
green salad.
