Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large casserole dish.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir carrot, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until soft and onion is clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Add burger crumbles and lentils; cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and saute, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Stir broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and soy sauce into the skillet. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in peas and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and potatoes are golden, 20 to 30 minutes.
