1-Hour Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

Made this for a vegetarian option at Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit. Even the non-vegetarians loved it and went back for seconds! Great recipe and appreciate that it was a lot of simple and easy to find ingredients.

This shepards pie was outstanding! I tried it out because I’m trying to get a feel for cooking with lentils and it did not disappoint.

The only modifications I made was using a mix of frozen corn and fresh veggies (basically using what was on hand) and topping the mash with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

The seasoning was spot on and it was a big hit around the dinner table. I will definitely be making it again.

I really enjoyed this recipe! It’s very tasty and had all of the meat-eaters in my house peaking into the kitchen to see what smelled so delish! As for substitutions, instead of using frozen veg, I used fresh veg that I had available (onion, garlic, celery, and carrot). I only had 2 cups of vegetable stock, so I used 2 cups of water and a vegetable bouillon cube. Lastly, I added about two tbsp of unsweetened almond milk (eyeballed, not measured) to the potatoes to make them a big creamier.

I made this on christmas. Everyone loved it. Thanks!

I had some leftover small red potatoes and green lentils—a vegan shepherds pie sounded perfect. Your recipes are 2/2 this holiday week! My spouse usually likes ground turkey in shepherds pie. However, they ate half of this one! First they tried ketchup on top, which they said was okay. Then they tried A1 sauce, which they said went perfectly with the shepherds pie. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the recipe! I only had 1 cup of broth on hand so I had to use water but I punched up the spices and it turned out delish! I added extra garlic, 3 bay leaves, more thyme and 1 tbs oregano. I also had some green beans that needed to be used so I put them in after the onions were translucent but before adding the lentils. I also made garlic mashed potatoes for the top by roasting a head of garlic in the oven at 400 degrees (chop off top of head, drizzle in oil and loosely wrap in foil) and like another reviewer, I also added nutritional yeast to the potatoes. Yum yum! I probably would not have altered anything if I had the requisite broth.

I did not have an issue with excess liquid because I did have the pot uncovered after I added the frozen veggies so that excess liquid would evaporate. I also added 2 tbs of the potatoes too as recommended in the recipe.

Thank you! I always enjoy your recipes!

I stayed pretty close to the original recipe but I found the bottom layer too soupy. Personally I’d adjust the vegetable broth to lentil ratio if I made it again.

So delicious. Per some other comments, i added some more flavor: I used a large onion, twice the amount of garlic, and a table spoon of Italian spice. I also added a package of sautéed mushrooms to the veggies/lentils right before it went in the oven. I LOVE IT. Perfect for a cold Winter night. Will make again, thanks for sharing.

So so yummy. My husbands favorite used to be shepherds pie – we tried one vegan recipe that he HATED. So happy to have a recipe on hand he went back for seconds for.

I’ve made this recipe several times just as it calls for and it always turns out great. There’s just two of us so we have it one night and I freeze the remaining servings for later on. Thaw in fridge and reheat in microwave, just as good as fresh!

i made it with a ton of extra spices added and it was still super bland.. the lentil texture is super dry and the mashed potatoes are dry so it definitely needs some sort of gravy or maybe if it was made with mushrooms instead of lentils? or if there were more veggies and less lentils?

also, im pretty sure your missing milk in the recipe for the mashed potatoes.. i added like 3/4 cup of almond milk and it was still pretty dry.

Tried to make this and could not get the base thick enough. Added cornstarch and potatoes and still too watery. Wonder if I had put less than 4 cups of broth if that would have made a difference.
Usually love cooking your dishes. Disappointed with the outcome of this one.

I only had red lentils, I thought they would work but they just went all mushy :( Still tasted fine but the lentils were basically non-existent – maybe I also cooked them too long?

I will definitely make sure I have the correct lentils next time I make this, it was yummy otherwise, especially with gravy!

Thanks for sharing!

Works well. Sprinkling some gravy granules in at the end is an easy way to thicken the sauce and add flavour.

We used sweet potatoes instead for the topping with some vegan cheese melted in. Worked well!

First time I made this I followed the recipe exactly, it was good but not great, so when I made it again I added more garlic, also added more veggies, I also baked it more (about 15 mins). Loved the recipe with the modifications. My mom loved it as well!

Amazing I have made this many times and love it, I just made it tonight and I added a bunch of nutritional yeast in the potatoes to give it that b12 and cheese flavour and It turned out really well!

Made this pretty close to recipe and it was awesome! I chose to make in small ramekins with the potatoes piped on top – everyone loved it!!

This recipe was absolutely delicious and I love how it’s packed with veggies and protein from the lentils.

I did make a few changes, though.

I added in extra thyme, plus parsley, a bit of basil and a bit of cumin to the lentils while they were cooking. I also added a bunch of coconut aminos.

I added sharp cheddar cheese and some heavy cream to the potatoes (I’m not vegan so this wasn’t an issue).

Minimalist Baker is my most go-to site for recipes. Love your recipes!

Very bland. There is no umami… for the left overs I added a steak sauce to the lentils part & a ton of Vageta seasoning to the potatoes. It was still just OK.

My advice- add way more herbs, salt, and spices. Maybe even some acid for a bit of a zing.

I added 1tbsp of vegan Worcestershire and 1/2tsp of liquid smoke to the lentils right before putting in the frozen vegetables and it added so much depth!

Super easy and delicious! I made it as written and it was very tasty. The only thing I added was some skyr (Icelandic yogurt) in the mashed potatoes and it was perfect! Served with some mushroom gravy on top, this was a hearty, cozy Thanksgiving meal! Thank you!

This was absolutely delicious. So hearty and filling. I followed the recipe nearly as is, except with the addition of about 2 tbsp tomato paste, a good splash of soy sauce, and a generous shaking of Trader Joe’s Umami Seasoning. My boyfriend (who is not vegan and still a bit skeptical of plant-based cooking) loved it also!

Thank you for this recipe!!!! I love making this! And when I don’t have lentils, I just use quinoa! Always delicious! Thank you so much

This is so homey and delicious. Perfect for drizzly, sleety, or blustery gray days. I do feel like you missed an oppurtunity to re-name it gardener’s pie, instead of shepherd’s pie, since no lamb (sheep) is involved.

This shepherd’s pie is a favourite in my house, even with the omni kids! It’s so simple yet so flavoursome. I like to make it ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven when needed. Perfect filling comfort food for cold weather. Thank you!

I made this recipe for dinner tonight because the cool air is making ready for warm, comforting meals and the cozy clothes to match :-)
It is overall yummy, simple to throw together (pretty hands off after the veggie prep) and filling!
I added about 1 tbsp of cornstarch and 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast (plus lots more to my bowlfuls…) I found it needed more salt and pepper than called for, but that could just be my preference.

I would recommend for those chilly fall days ahead!

So delicious I wanted to eat it for breakfast the next day! Thanks again for another fantastic recipe :)

I made this last year for my meat-loving in-laws’ Christmas dinner, and it was a hit. My mother in law’s husband said it was his favorite dish of the night! They asked for the recipe. Thank you!! 😋

A great recipe with lots of flavor and that lasts for multiple meals. We are refining the mashed potato part to get something that is creamier and richer, but everything else was perfect.

I am so glad I made this recipe. It was simple and tastes fantastic. Subbed sweet potatoes for the potato and still perfect. Thank you 😊

This meal was delicious, easy to make and a hit with my toddler who is notorious for not eating vegies! Only modification I made was that I added some middle Eastern spices to the mix.. thank you for the recipe!

Delicious! But give yourself more time than the recipe describes. Will take at least 1.5 hrs total if it’s your first time :)

I love this recipe for my favorite dish. This time I made this with a few substitutes, like adding chopped nuts, celery and basil for texture and flavor. It is always delicious even my non-vegan family loves to get seconds. Thanks for sharing!

I made this following the recipe 100 % and it turned out great! Even my meat eating boyfriend enjoyed it! I was slightly nervous before putting it into the oven that the bottom mixture was quite runny, but it did thicken up. This recipe makes a lot of food so I’ll be eating this all week!

This recipe is so simple but the best, thank you. I used fresh diced carrots instead of frozen and extrs garlic because you can’t have too much! It’s been a massive hit with my family.

I have made this several times and it turns out delicious every time. One crucial step is to make sure you use the vegetable stock when cooking the lentils as it gives a really good flavor along with the other spices called for. I actually find this recipe easy to make and comes together pretty fast. Thank you!

Incredibly time consuming recipe and taste wise rather disappointing definitely won’t be making it ever again.

I made the recipe as is except with about a half cup less stock and I added some mushrooms when I added the frozen veg and it was spectacular! Even the very picky meat eaters went back not only for a second but a third helping! That was a first for me to see that kind of a reaction to a vegan dish. Great recipe!!

Made it today , really delicious, added mushrooms and some ketchup after I added the frozen vegetables and continued the recipe! It was a Very Big hit ! Thank You , always enjoy your recipes 😁

I made this using the instant pot! Turned out great.

I followed the instructions but cooked the filling and potatoes separately in the instant pot for high pressure for 10 minutes. Turned out great. I baked it for a bit longer too.

I love this website for vegan dishes and this might be my favourite recipe! So easy to make and super delicious. It goes down really well with my carnivorous partner too! When I’m lazy/too impatient, I’ve made it with a tin of lentils and a tin of chickpeas instead of the dry lentils – less stock and less cooking time but works really well.

Made this for dinner for my husband and I. It was delicious and he loved it! It’s such a hearty and nutritious meal and I can see it being a great way to use old veggies.

I made this and replaced the lentils with vegan ground “beef” crumbles and only 3 cups of the veggie stock and it was delicious. I made it for my husband. I’m usually not a fan of Shepherd’s Pie but this was really good.

Made this and it was amazing! I blended about half of the lentil mixture with about 4 tbsp of mashed potatos and added it back in before adding the veggies. I also added about 1 cup of water when adding the veggies, since blending the lentils made the mixture a little thicker! I like my shepherds pie a little thicker, which is why I did the blending. Also made a gravy to go on top which was amazing! Thanks for the great recipe!

Made this with potato mash but also gave used sweet potato mash very yummy!

I made this with a few additions; I added a sliced leek just after the onions and garlic and then some mushrooms and fresh carrot, all before the lentils and stock. I also added some spashes of white wine and YUM. Mine took way longer than expected to cook for the lentils to soften and extra water, so I think that next time I will soak the lentils first. This was super yummy and I really enjoyed the wine and mushroom flavours too. My omni flatmates thoroughly enjoyed it and said that it is such a hearty winter meal. Thanks for yet another amazing recipe.

Even though it’s way too hot to be cooking right now we huge batch of this and made a few modifications just for fun. To thicken the lentil-veggie mixture I added a couple spoonfuls of a vegan instant gravy packet and we mixed in some nutritional yeast into the mashed potatoes for extra flavor. Super yummy :D

Second time we have made this. The recipe is simple and very versatile. We can season and add what we want. The base recipe allows us to do that and it has came out great each time.
The recipe itself stands alone as well. No complaints from our family. We have a Vegan, but everyone eats and enjoys this dish. Great job and thank you.

Thank you! This was so delicious!

Hi
I made the recipe as stated but didn’t have mixed frozen vegetables, so cut up carrots & mushrooms & sautéed with onions & garlic. Added onion soup mix as I didn’t add any other salt to the recipe then at the end added some frozen peas. My husband loved it

This was delicious, and really simple although it took me a bit longer than an hour due to peeling potatoes etc. I didn’t have that particular variety of potatoes so I just used what I had to hand, which worked just fine. I also added 4/5 chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a tsp smoked paprika which gave an extra depth/richness.

Delicious! I halved the recipe in order to try it first and it worked beautifully! I used red potatoes with their skins, they got a little crispy in the oven but not browned, still very tasty. I used 3 medium carrots and a cup or so of frozen peas for the added veggies. I didn’t have thyme so I used an Italian seasoning mix. Very tasty, this is going into my rotation.

Soo good! Pretty simple recipe even if it has a few steps. Can’t really go wrong even just using what you have – I added in some frozen vegan “beef” and used half turnips, half potatoes for the mashed topping since we had some turnips we needed to use! It was a hit with the whole family and I could make it earlier in the day when I had time and just heat it up in the oven that night for dinner.

This was a hit with the family, so much so that I made 2 days worth (lunches and dinners) for us. I added in finely chopped mushrooms for an even heartier, meaty texture. Thanks for the winner!

I’ve made this before, true to recipe, and it was perfect!
Today I used canned lentils, russet potatoes, and sweet potatoes; made one batch with different potatoes divided in two 6×8 pans. My partner who hates casseroles asked for extra servings. The sweet potatoes are ok here, but not as good as any white or yellow potatoes. Cooking from what I had on hand, this was the favorite meal of the week by far! I’m y

I just made this recipe. It was a success with my family of vegan and non vegans.

Thank so much for always coming up with delicious recipes.

Made this last night. I mainly fooled the recipe but I used precooked lentils from Trader Joe’s and added enough broth to have a little gravy. Added paprika, used mashed potato to thicken gravy and cooked it in Individual ramekins Like Denise did I got 5 servings with the mashed potatoes I made and there are 2 servings left that need potatoes. We ate 2 and I froze the rest. SO DELICIOUS! Will write back after I cook the ones i froze. Can’t imagine that it wouldn’t work.

This is my go-to shepherd’s pie recipe. And even my very carnivorous daughter loves it! I do get the lentils going before I even think about the potatoes. The timing works better that way.

This was my first attempt at a vegan Shepard’s pie and I was very happy with it. Next time I might try onion soup mix for a little more flavor.

I was struggling to find a vegan dish I actually love and thankfully I found it! This is a straight forward, delicious recipe. The only thing I did differently was I pulsated the lentils with a hand mixer when they were soft to give it more of a ground beef texture. And I added a package of onion soup mix to the broth for extra flavour, delicious!

This recipe is fantastic. I don’t often leave comments but this is so delicious. I highly recommend it. I love the idea of adding mashed potatoes to thicken up the filling. It really works well. Thank you very much.

Just made this and YUM!

It’s just as good as it says! I made it exactly as the recipe states and turned out fantastic! Great meatless comfort food.

Amazing! My meat eating husband loved it. Great recipe and will definitely make it again.

Made this for me and husband and we both thought it was delicious! He told me to make it again, and he’s a big army dude so you know it’s gotta be good if it fills up a soldier!

This was great! I will say it took more like an hour and a half once you factor in peeling potatoes. I would recommend adding a good amount of salt to the lentils. I used Miyoko’s vegan butter in the mashed potatoes (so! good!) and added sauteed mushrooms to the lentils before baking. I also mixed vegan gravy into the lentils before baking, which I think helped with thickening and definitely added flavor. Will definitely be making this again — vegan comfort food at its finest.

We are not vegan, but I found this recipe and decided to make it as a healthier option. It was truly AMAZING! I followed the recipe with 2 changes, I used 2 cups of lentils and increased the vegetable broth by an additional cup. My family went crazy it was so good. Truly you have to try it, you will not miss the beef.

My husband and I have been Whole Food Plant Based since the beginning of the year. We mostly eat raw vegetables, hummus and vegetable soups, stews and chili. We needed something with the same basic ingredients and this met the criteria. Just finished eating it and we were both delighted and satisfied! I used a little truffle salt in the potatoes and Milkadamia milk. Outside of that followed the recipe to a T! Delicious! Thank you!

Only 3tbsp of vegan butter for 3 pounds of potato??? I thought that would be a bit dry. I heated up unsweetened non dairy milk with with vegan butter and added it in until creamy.

this is so so delicious! i used a can of lentils and simmered them for 30 minutes in / to soak up the veggie stock flavour (2 cups) and added mushrooms in and green beans and the consistency was perfect! i’ll definitely be making this in winter too, thank youuu dana

I’m making this again tomorrow. I topped the last one with a combination of mashed potato and cauliflower. So good. Tomorrow I’m going to ad some mushrooms to the lentils. I also froze individual servings and it was successful. This is such a versatile recipe. Delicious enough for company and a family of cooks. ?.

Hi Dana!
I made this for the first time as part of my meal prep for the week and it turned out AMAZING! I’m not vegan or vegetarian and I honestly prefer this recipe over the tradition one!
My only modifications were I used a combo of vegetable and mushroom broth (because that’s what I had) and chopped fresh veggies instead of frozen . This recipe is a keeper for sure, thank you!!

Delicious! Simple to make and incredibly satisfying. Thank you

Dana, this recipe was priceless. I mixed white potatoes and sweet potatoes…really good.
I couldn’t find green or brown lentils did red. I also added liquid smoke, Worcester sauce and balsamic vinegar sauce. I’m limited on sodium so no salt. But this was really tasty and filling. Going for 2nd serving. My husband is working on his 3rd!!!
Thank you. Following you on Instagram.
Happy New Year❤

Thank you! Absolutely delicious. I made the recipe exact. I am freezing half of the lentils and will repurpose in the future but will top with mashed sweet potatoes. Much appreciation.

I mad this casserole last night for dinner. I am always a little hesitant when making a vegan main dish since I am usually a meat eater, however, my son arrived from far away and he is a vegan. It took me a little longer than the times posted because I cook on an electric range but this was very easy to make and OMG the flavor was delicious! My husband, our son, and I each had seconds! Best of all, we have leftovers for tomorrow night too!
Thank you for a delicious and easy main dish for the reluctant vegan!

Added mushrooms. Delicious as all your recipes are. Thank you!

I’ve made this several times, it’s so good! I either halve the filling, or freeze half, because it does make alot. I also add at least a pound of sliced & sauted mushrooms, and man does it add alot of flavor and texture. Make it.

A good comfort meal after a cold day outside. Only adjustments I made was adding a splash of coconut aminos and a bay leaf while the lentils were cooking.

A friend asked me to make something for her Christmas party that the vegetarians and vegans could eat. I found this recipe and felt it would be perfect. I water sautéed the onions and garlic. I also used the precooked lentils from Trader Joes. Not knowing how much the package was in comparison to using dried lentils I added a bit of cooked brown rice to the mixture. I only used about 2 cups of the vegetable broth, enough to loosen up the mix. Everyone raved about how awesome it was! I steered a couple people to your website so they could get the recipe for themselves! I will definitely be making this again. The flavors were perfect!
Thanks for a great recipe and website!

I added sautéed mushrooms and mix of a few tablespoons each of tomato paste / balsamic vinegar/ broth to the lentil veggie mix. Without it Tasted to me like it was missing “something,” it helped tremendously. Thank you for the easy weeknight recipe

I made it and it came out quite delicious. My boyfriend who isn’t vegan, loved it! I highly recommend making this for your non-vegan friends & family!

Delicious! I followed the recipe as written except I added an extra 1/2 cup frozen veggies. Used about a teaspoon of corn starch and 2 tablespoons of the mashed potatoes to thicken. Perfection! Served to two non-vegan guests and they (and my mostly plant based husband) all loved it! Five stars!!!

SIMPLY DELICIOUS. Not my first time doing this recipe, and I twist it a bit by adding nibblets between the mashed potatoes and the lentils mixture by make it even Moreno like a shepherds pie. Plus, I’ve frozen this recipe before with great success…! Just saying :). Thank you for such a perfect warm and cozy fall/winter recipe my dear.

Catherine

We had leftover mashed potatoes from the night before and this was a great way to use them up! I absolutely loved this meal, it will definitely be in the rotation going forward and I think it would be a great dish to serve your meat eating friends and family to show how familiar, satisfying, and nutritious vegan cooking can be.

Hi Dana,

Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes. I love making everything!

Jeanie

I made this last night and it was deelish. I modified it slightly. I added 8oz of sliced portobello to the saute mix of onions and garlic. The mushrooms gave a real nice meaty taste and texture. I also substituted pureed cauliflower (about 1 1/2 heads) for the mashed potatoes. I simply steamed the cauliflower, then into the food processor with the vegan butter. After spreading the mix on top I sprinkled some paprika over it and baked.

Really good and thanks for the recipe!

Loved this recipe! I made it last night but added Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and extra herbs spices like smoked paprika and dried sage. I also used purple yams instead of golden yams and it looks so colourful and amazing! I’m stoked.

Can’t wait to make this for all the hard-core meat eaters in my family :)

Delicious and so filling! We made this two weeks in a row because we loved it so much the first time we tried it!

Made this last night, I used fresh carrots and celery, staggered putting them in the filler to avoid over-cooking them. Also in the filler I used about 1/2tbps paprika, shredded the garlic (4 cloves) instead of diced, and added 2tbps corn starch about 30 minutes into simmering. Added garlic to the mashed potatoes and used cashew/almond milk blend in addition to the vegan butter, then a light brush of olive oil before baking. Thank you so much for this recipe, it was delicious, rich and filling, and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be trying more from this page.

YUM. Made this tonight and it tasted just like my mom’s beef shepherd’s pie growing up. Thought I’d left that cozy flavor behind forever when I stopped eating meat but this was instant nostalgia! I assembled this 1 day in advance and stored in the fridge, baked just before dinner. We’re not big potato fans, so I used mashed cauliflower. One head of cauliflower was enough for half this recipe. Will be making this over and over!

So good I’ve made it twice already!! I enjoy dipping it with bbq sauce. Highly recommend!

I will definitely be making this recipe again (enthusiastically approved by boyfriend!). I love the homeyness and simplicity. I lightened it up by making a batch of your potato and cauliflower mash for the topping. I also found the lentil mix wanting additional flavor and seasoning so I added 1 TB of vegan Worcestershire sauce, around 2 TB of tamari, and about a tsp. of Beyond Bullion vegetable stock seasoning.

Both my husband and I loved it! Easy to make and simply delicious! Note: If you use canned lentils, like I did, you will have to reduce the amount of vegetable broth to just enough to cook the mixed vegetables. (I found it to be very liquidy otherwise, but I drained the excess liquid and used it when I made a batch of veggie soup. It didn’t go to waste!)

Wonderful recipe.. made a few adjustments
-seasoned the lentils with salt,pepper,paprika,tomato paste and cumin and let it steam a bit BEFORE adding broth..
-added chunks of squash to other veggies/lentils.. let it cook until soft then mash some with spoon to ticken added a dash of A1 and some sazon seasoning!
-added cauliflower to potatoes and mashed it together..DELISH!! Thank you!

This is my go-to recipe for Vegan Shepherd’s Pie! My family loves it! Very easy and versatile for every taste. I like to use a little mint with thyme and rosemary. I also like fresh chives and some sour cream in the whipped potatoes. Yum-Yum!

Thank you so much for this recipe. This Shepard’s Pie just won my work’s holiday pie contest. It’s a specialty food and beverage shop so there were a lot of discerning palettes to please. I added about 1tbsp of tamari to the lentils as a substitute for Worcester sauce (saw in another recipe) to make it extra savory.

Making it again! So good

I made this for my family and my carnivore kids ate it up!!!! They could not get enough and didn’t miss the meat!!! Total game changer!!! Need more Casserole recipes like this!

Starting making this and then realized that I didn’t have enough lentils (only had 3/4 cup)! So I added 1/2 cup quinoa and 1/2 can garbanzo beans to make up for it. Still turned out delicious!! Can’t wait to make this as a plant based option at my family’s Thanksgiving!

This was soooooo delicious. I made it exactly the way the recipe said to and it had so much flavor for so few ingredients. Definitely will be making again.

Recently went vegan and am so thankful to find a yummy version of my favorite dish!!! Thank you so so so much for sharing! Definitely adding to my recipe box!

I made this last year because I was the only vegetarian at my husband’s holiday gathering and wanted something to share with them. It was great but I tweaked it by added rosemary, cooking wine, diced mushrooms, tomato paste, vegan worcestershire sauce, and topped it with a mushroom gravy made from mushrooms, “butter”, coconut milk, salt, and poultry seasoning. The lentils I got sucked up a LOT of seasoning so I’d constantly have to add more salt, thyme, and rosemary as I was cooking so I have no idea how much I used. This clearly is not a healthy meal with all the salt and butter but I don’t eat this way usually. My husband’s family LOVED it they were going in for seconds and thirds. I’m making it again this year at their request.

Like some others here, I also added red wine! I decided to add nutritional yeast to the potatoes, too… I regret nothing.

I love your recipes!

Thank you :)

This was incredible! Loved that it had simple ingredients, but tasted delicious.

Made this last night, it was AMAZING!!
My husband is a meat eater and absolutely loved it. I added chopped celery and mushrooms to the lentil mix. Can’t wait for leftovers (although there’s not much left!). Thanks for the great recipe!

I make this for Thanksgiving every year (and multiple times throughout the cold months) and it is such a delicious, hearty, ultimate comfort meal. I make a mushroom gravy on the side just to really make it thanksgiving-y and it hits all those spots for me. Definitely one to come back to over and over!

I made this last night for dinner. I agree with another commenter that there was way to much lentils. I would probably do half the amount if I make this again. To cut down on the cooking time, I used my Instant pots to cook the potatoes and the lentils.

This turned out great. A quick view of the comments show that no one else had this issue, so maybe it was just me: 1.5 cups of uncooked lentils was WAY TOO MUCH. I used the suggested sized baking dish, and had a lot of leftover filling. I saved it for a while and tried to creatively use it in other dishes, but eventually threw the rest out.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit among the vegetarians and meat-eaters! It is a very user friendly recipe and makes for a satisfying comfort food. The only thing I added to this recipe was two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar when adding the vegetable stock. Definitely will be making again!

Delicious! Used to be one of my favorite meals before I changed my diet and stopped eating meat and dairy. Thrilled to have found this gem! My husband wanted to eat the whole tray the first time I made it ?
