Autumn Vegetable Shepherds Pie Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.

2. 2

   Add Mushrooms and Squash

   Stir in mushrooms and butternut squash, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the squash is slightly tender.

3. 3

   Combine Remaining Ingredients

   Add green peas, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare the Mashed Topping

   While the filling simmers, boil 4 cups of water in a separate pot. Add 2 cups of chopped potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with salt and a splash of olive oil.

5. 5

   Assemble and Bake

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, spread the vegetable filling evenly and top with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
