I admit, the picture...not so enticing, I get it. It looks like mush in a bowl? Meaty mush. I know.Think again. It.is.so.tasty! I made it a bit runnier because I love liquidy casserole dishes, full of flavor! The husby wanted to make a bowl immediately after taste testing for me. That is saying a lot - for those who read my personal blog, you know that I struggle to feed my guy. He's just not an eater. He useta could eat a-ny-thing! Now...phh, just get him a 24 pack of sprite through the year and some egg nog during the holidays and he's all set! That just doesn't fly with me :) I like knowing I gave my guy a well balanced, fill-your-tummy, meal! I just do, it's in my nature. So, you can imagine my happiness when he asked me if we he could make some up for himself! That is a huge compliment when I adore cooking so much and he hardly eats any of it. A true success!
shepherd's pie
-----------------
3 T earth balance margarine
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean under lukewarm water, then chopped into large pieces (you can peel, if you don't like the skins. Remember, though, extra minerals are a plus!)
1/2 cup original soymilk (or anything other nut milk), plus additional tbsp's as needed
1 bag of morningstar farms burger crumbles
2 cans campbell's mushroom gravy (if you don't like it as runny as mine, maybe try a 1/4 cup veg broth with 2 T garbanzo bean flour or 1 T cornstarch over medium high heat to thicken, then add to other 1 can of mushroom gravy)
1 can organic peas, drained
1/2 of 1 large carrot, chopped
1 - 7oz can of sliced mushrooms
Seasonings:
1 tsp meat and poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
pinch (seriously, just a smidgen) of cayenne pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a large pot, boil the potatoes for 20-30 minutes. You want them to be very tender for mashing them up later.
3. While the potatoes are boiling, mix the burger crumbles, gravy, mushrooms, peas, carrots, n' spices. Pour into 13 x 9 casserole dish. Easy peasy! How's that for slaving over a hot can opener? ;)
4. Drain potatoes and place in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer, mash potatoes with margarine and soymilk.
5. Top the crumble mixture in the casserole dish with an even spread of divinely mashed potatoes, making sure to get all the way to the edges!
5. Bake 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to get a bit browned.
See? I like it runny. That Campbell's mushroom gravy is the devil, though! I'm a mushroomaholic, so it's my vise. (Shh, don't tell my dad that, it'll make him rethink his ways when I was a kid, lol. All those years shoving them down my throat while I would refuse. It was just a front I put on.)
