Vegetable Pot Pie (Vegan)

Enjolinfam's Note:

Good vegan holiday or potluck dish. My favorite recipe from my friends the Farley's. I would always request this dish when we would get together and I'm so happy to have the recipe! Always got rave reviews at potlucks we'd attend when my friends brought this dish. Enjoy!

[Wish I Could Cook]

This was excellent! I loved the flavors! The crust is enough for a top and a bottom. So as written it makes a thick top crust (nothing wrong with that, just be aware). However, I think 1/2 c of oil is too much, I'm going to cut it down to 1/4 next time and see how that goes.

really great! i made 2 so i could have something to take home for thanksgiving and be able to enjoy the meal. i'm eating the first one now and expect it might be gone before thanksgiving! thanks so much! *i accidentally left out the TVP but it was still great. also on one of them i put down a layer of crust at the bottom to really give it that pie effect.

I made this for my vegetarian stepdaughters and partners. They really enjoyed it and I have had requests to make more.
