Vegan Shepherd's Pie

We had a St. Patty's Day potluck at the office.  In researching what dish I was going to make (I took "Corn O'Brien- made without bacon), I saw many pictures of Shepherd's pie.

I have fond memories of eating Shepherd's pie when growing up.  So, I was determined to make it for my family... minus the beef.

I didn't realize all the different ways there are to make Shepherd's pie... the kind my Mom made included green beans, mashed potatoes and ground beef.  So, that is what I did too.

I used this Veggie ground pictured below for the "beef".  I used a little bbq sauce for flavor.  It really turned out well... the boys LOVED it!

The bottom was a layer of mashed potatoes (using Silk creamer, salt, garlic & partial skin-on red potatoes).  Next layer was green beans.  Third layer was our seasoned "meat".  The top was another layer of mashed potatoes.  Baked it in the oven, covered, on 350 until warm.  In the last few minutes I took off the lid to brown the top of the potatoes.  Delicious!
