MUSHROOM SHEPHERD'S PIE

Mushroom Shepherd's Pie image

It sounds silly, but the one thing I miss most in meatless meals is, well, the meat. That is, except in this mushroom shepherd's pie. It's a hearty vegetarian dish, and I guarantee you won't miss the meat either. -Glen Warren, Keswick, Ontario
