Recipe By Savory Spice Test Kitchen

We turned what is traditionally a beef dish into a veggie lover's dream by swapping out the beef for meaty mushrooms. The mash is slightly sweet with the addition of carrots but has a nice garlic bite from our Garlic Salt. It's the ultimate winter comfort meal!

Directions

For filling: Sprinkle mushrooms with salt & pepper and toss with 1 Tbsp. cornstarch. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear mushrooms in single-layer batches until brown, 4 to 6 min. per batch, and transfer to a plate. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and onions to skillet and cook for 5 min. or until onions are soft. Stir in remaining ingredients. Mix remaining 1 Tbsp. cornstarch with 2 Tbsp. water to make a slurry; stir slurry into skillet. Add browned mushrooms and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 min. or until mushrooms are tender and sauce thickens.

For topping: In a large pot, cover potatoes and carrots by 2 inches with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 min. or until veggies are soft enough to break apart with a fork. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add butter, milk, Garlic Salt, and Fine Black Malabar Pepper. Use a hand masher or electric mixer to beat until still slightly lumpy.

To serve: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour filling into a 2-quart dish, or divide it between 4 large ramekins. Cover with topping. Set dish(es) on a baking sheet and bake for 20 min. or until filling is bubbling and topping just starts to brown. Cool for 10 min. before serving.
