• 1 onion medium, diced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 280 grams mushrooms chopped
• 1 cup green lentils or brown
• 1 cube vegetable stock
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons chipotle sauce
• 1 can peas
• 1 can carrots
• 1 can corn
• 2 tablespoons dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• salt
• 3 pounds potatoes
• 5 tablespoons vegan butter
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk
• 5 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• nutritional yeast optional, or vegan cheese

1. Peel and chop up potatoes. Bring a pot of water to boil and add potatoes. Leave potatoes in pot of boiling water until soft enough for mashing (~15 minutes)
2. While the potatoes are boiling start working on the mince. Add olive oil to a pot along with onions and garlic. Stir well.
3. Add in mushrooms and stir until onions start to become translucent.
4. Add lentils, veggie cube, veggie broth, tomato sauce, and chipotle sauce. Stir for 3 minutes,
5. Add peas, carrots, and corn and stir for 5-7 minutes. The veggie broth should begin to be soaked up and the mince mix should be getting thicker.
6. Add in the thyme, cayenne, and cumin and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remember to taste test! Add salt and pepper if needed.
7. While the mince is simmering, drain the pot of potatoes and begin to mash. When its mashed halfway, add in the milk and butter. Now mash thoroughly.
8. Add in the garlic powder to the mashed potatoes and mash or stir a bit until the garlic flavouring is spread well throughout. Add salt and pepper to taste.
9. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
10. Take out a casserole or oven-friendly dish and place the mince inside evenly. Add in the mash on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle nutritional yeast or vegan cheese on top.
11. Place the dish in the oven for around 15 minutes. Everything is pretty much cooked we just want to brown off the potatoes.
12. Take out of oven, let cool for a bit, and enjoy!
