Budget-Friendly Shepherd’s Pie
Combining fluffy mashed spuds with tender veggies, this comforting shepherd’s pie is just like Mom used to make—minus the meat. Make plenty and eat throughout the week; you can never have too much
Fluffy golden mashed potatoes blanket a bounty of vegetables in this classic casserole that can warm you up even on the coldest nights. Carrots, onions, celery, and corn are cooked down into a savory gravy that adds rich flavor and moisture to the potato dish. The flavors will become richer the more they have time to meld, so you might want to make a double batch to keep in the fridge for easy and delicious leftovers.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
- 2 cups unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
- Sea salt, to taste
