Filling

  • Heat oil in a large skillet

  • Add in the garlic, corn, mushrooms and saute a few minutes more.
  • Next, add in the soy “beef”, oregano and paprika; cook two minutes.
  • Mix flour and water to make a slurry. Add in the tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, worchestershire, salt, pepper and slurry. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  • Pour into a prepared 9” pie plate or 8x8 inch baking dish and top with mashed potato mixture.
  • Bake at 350° for about 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Notes

A comforting dish: a medley of vegetables and a soy “ground beef” substitute stir fried, seasoned with savory herbs and then simmered in a tomato-based sauce. This is then topped w/ a flavorful combination of local sweet potato mashed with Yukon gold's, mustard and low-fat cheddar cheese. Baked just enough to heat through, all this dish needs is a green salad to make a complete meal.
Substitutions: White potato can be used instead of Yukon gold. Any veggie burger or soy-crumbles can be used if you cannot find Yves soy-ground (note that the sodium levels may differ). Water can be used instead of broth. Regular Worchestershire can be interchanged w/ the vegetarian version.
