Being as I’m a Irish girl, leading into the month of March is one of my favorite times of year. The weather usually starts warming up and I get to play around a lot more with Irish staples! Shepherd’s Pie is a staple Irish meal and I’ve made it a few different times in a few different ways. I’ve got to say though… I think this vegetarian one is now probably my favorite version.

That is no lie. This Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie is loaded with flavor and plenty of fresh vegetables. I even used fresh peas! No canned or frozen veggies here. Not today.

This is for sure a stick-to-your-ribs sort of meal. The potatoes on top and the hearty vegetable mixture below is pure bliss. Especially on a cooler night here at the end of winter. One serving of this is PLENTY and very filling. So much so that you really don’t need to serve this dinner with a side! Though if you wanted to, a very simple and small salad would be a good option.

Trust me when I say too that you won’t miss the meat in this Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie. It’s such a hearty meal and full of meaty texture that you likely won’t even notice it’s meatless!

Yum! I can’t wait to make this Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie again.

This is a great recipe for enjoying again as a second meal since it reheats really well. Reheat it in the same oven safe skillet it’s cooked in or warm up individual options in the microwave.
