This is a blend of sweet and regular potatoes. It's vegetarian, so feel free to sub. in real ground beef. Don't remember where I got it! Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 lb vegetarian ground beef (yves ground) |
1 cup textured vegetable protein, granules soaked in water |
2 teaspoons dried basil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups frozen green beans, thawed |
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
2 sweet potatoes |
2 medium baking potatoes |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/4-1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Peel, chop and boil sweet potatoes and baking potatoes until tender. 2. Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. 3. While potatoes are boiling, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in oil for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. 4. Stir in the ground “beef” (no need to brown), Textured Vegetable Protein, and basil, and cook and stir for 5 more minutes. 5. Mix in the garlic, green beans, and tomatoes, and simmer for 5 minutes. 6. Transfer beef mixture to prepared dish. 7. Mash the potatoes and mix in the eggs. Spread evenly over meat mixture. 8. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until potatoes start to brown on top. 9. Sprinkle with cheese and continue cooking for 5 minutes. |
