Ingredients

    Mashed potatoes - 4 cups
    Red Quinoa - 3 cups
    Mixed Vegetables (frozen) - about 8 - 10 oz
    Brown Gravy Mix - 1 packet prepared
    Nutritional yeast - 2 tbsp.
    Almond Milk - 4 oz

Tips

This is a one pot type of meal. The protein comes from the quinoa, you've got your veggies and your carbohydrates. Using a vegan type gravy would make this dish completely vegan, also.


Directions

Prepare mashed potatoes. Boil potatoes, rinse then add Almond milk, nutritional yeast and other seasonings and blend until creamy.
Cook Quinoa, add to large bowl with mixed vegetables and prepared brown gravy. Mix well.
Place Quinoa mixture in casserole dish, then spread potatoes over the mixture.
Place in Oven on 350 for approx. 30 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown.
