- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 (50 g) packet Knorr Shepherds Pie Mealmaker Mix (I use the Coleman's Brand, but when submitting this recipe, it wouldn't accept "Coleman's Shepherds )
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 2 cups mashed broccoli and cauliflower (see my recipe for this, or make your own, this will add a mega dose of Vitamins A,C & E)
- 1 (12 ounce) veggie crumbles (I use "Lightlife" which has 0 grams of fat and 14 grams of protein)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Take the veggie crumbles into a pan. Add the Coleman's mix (this is basically the gravy that makes this pie famous) and enough water until the gravy is just a little bit watery, but still on the "thick" side. (remember, the moisture from the frozen peas and carrots will dilute and add to the water content, so you want to keep that gravy only a little watery).
- Add frozen peas & carrots and mix everything together until heated. About 5 minutes.
- Pour everything into an oven backing dish and cover with cauliflower and broccoli puree instead of using mashed potatos. (This will add A LOT of vitamins and nutrients instead of using potatos which would spike your blood sugar).
- Place into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes.
- Let the pie set for about 5 minutes before cutting it up and serving.
- Enjoy without guilt!

This is a nice and healthy veggie recipe! I'm not vegan or vegetarian but we do enjoy going meatless now and then and this recipe fit the bill. I made 2 changes....I could not find either brand of shepard's pie mix you specified, so I used V8Soups Garden Vegetable Blend (it's vegetarian but not vegan); and I don't care for veggie crumbles so used 12 oz of chopped mushrooms. I cooked the cauliflower with a couple cloves of garlic, then drained well and mashed with some salt and pepper. I made 2 servings in individual ramekins and we enjoyed this - thanks for sharing the recipe!
