Mac And Cheese Cottage Pie

Mac And Cheese Cottage Pie – Classic vegan shepherd’s pie but topped with creamy mac and cheese! A bowl full of vegetables and yet so comforting and delicious!

This shepherd’s pie contains 5 vegetables and protein, giving you the immune boost you need, especially during the winter! It is nut free and you can make it nut free by using a gluten free pasta.

Then put the tomatoes in your can! Lower the heat to allow the vegetables to cook. Sometimes I forget to lower the heat or my oven will take a while to cool down so the tomatoes cook quickly. If so, add some water or vegetable stock to prevent the mixture from burning!

If you are not using an oven pan, simply transfer the vegetable mixture to the baking dish at this point :).

I used a veggie-based mac and cheese sauce rather than a nut-based one because I find the former better for baking!

This is the easiest part! Simply bake the pie for 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

* If you don’t have a frying pan, any frying pan will work. Spoon the mixture into a large baking dish and cover with mac and cheese before baking.
