I made vegetarian Shepherd's Pie last week and it was yummy! Not very low cal I guess, but it was good. I made myself eat a smaller piece than I wanted and had a big salad with it. Even my son and hubby loved and said we should have this again!
here is the recipe if anyone is interested:
1 TBSP olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup vegetable stock
12 oz soy ground meat alternative
10 oz frozen mixed vegetables (about 1 1/2 cups thawed and drained)
2 cups garlic mashed potatoes (made yourself or can buy store bought in refrigerator section)
1 1/2 cups vegan cheddar cheese (I used lowfat cheese myself)
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onion and cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until softened. Add vegetable stock and cook for 3 minutes. Add soy ground meat alternative. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until heated through.
Add vegetables and stir well. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Transfer to prepared casserole dish. (an 8 cup casserole dish-sprayed with Pam). Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until potatoes and cheese form a soft crust on top.
Enjoy!!
