Vegan Gluten Free Lazy Pot Pie

 

I grew up eating frozen pot pies fairly often. Back when they still came in a metal pie pan and you actually baked them in the oven. My current diet doesn’t allow for most pre-made foods, so I had to come up with my own version. And well, I’m kind of a lazy cook. I’m also self taught and rather uneducated in the “ways” of cooking. So bear with me!! My family really enjoyed this recipe and I hope yours does too. This recipe is vegan, gluten free, soy free, corn free, and processed sugar free.

½ cup mushrooms

1 tsp seas salt

¼ tsp pepper

¼ tsp celery seed

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp parsley

¼ tsp paprika

½ cup raw unsalted cashews, soaked (at least 2 hours)

Crust Top

Instructions:

1. Cut veggies to desired size. Add all of them to pot. Add enough water just to cover the veggies.
2. Add garlic, salt, pepper, celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, paprika.
3. Cook on medium heat until veggies are tender. Drain some water if there is a lot left. You don’t want it ti be too soupy when you add the cashew mixture! 
4. In blender add cashews, water, lemon juice, tapioca starch, and almond milk. Blend well until smooth.
5. Add blender mix to pot. Simmer until thickened a bit.
6. Preheat oven to 350.
7. In a mixing bowl add all crust ingredients.
8. Roll out to desired thickness (should be the size of whatever casserole dish you are using.) Poke holes with a fork.
9. Pour base into casserole dish.
10. Gently place crust on top of casserole.
11. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of crust. Remove from oven and serve.
