Want the convenience of eating pizza matched with the warm, wholesome goodness that is Vegan Shepherd’s Pie? Look no further! Now, using a meat substitute is not a regular thing in our house, but when it’s St. Paddy’s Day, we like to make an exception. TVP is a textured vegetable protein derived from soy that can be used in a variety of ways when preparing vegan meals. We love this recipe because it appeals to all different types of folks, no matter where they are on their plant-based journey. We hope you enjoy and have a lucky St. Paddy’s Day!
Shepherd's Pizza Pie - Vegan
Ingredients
- 2 Store Bought Vegan Pizza Crusts
- 2 Large Russet Potatoes - Peeled & Sliced
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until they are soft (about 15 minutes). Drain them well and move them to a medium sized bowl. Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, and pepper, and mash the potatoes well with a fork. Set this mixture aside.
- In a small saucepan, over medium heat, cook the carrot, celery, and onion in the vegetable broth for fifteen minutes. Add the TVP and continue cooking the mixture until it thickens and all of the vegetable broth has been absorbed.
- Spoon half of the vegetable mixture onto each pizza crust and spread it evenly. Spoon half of the mashed potato mixture onto the top of each vegetable layer and spread this evenly as well. Bake the pizzas in the oven according to the directions on the package. Allow the pizzas to cool five minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
