About
Shepherd's pie is a classic comfort food for a reason — it's hearty, delicious, and warms you up from the inside out. Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie has all the comforting goodness of the classic dish but is made extra nutritious from the extra veggies! The creamy mashed potato filling pairs perfectly with the sautéed, savory veggies, with mushrooms bringing their own unique beefiness. Better yet, the whole dish is popped into the oven to broil for a golden-brown top. Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie is a scrumptious, filling meal that you can feel good about eating!
