The term “comfort food” gets thrown around a lot these days, but cottage pie may be the perfect embodiment of it. What’s more comforting than meat and potatoes combined in a harmonious casserole? A cottage pie featuring meat made from plants, that’s what. This hearty Impossible™ Cottage Pie showcases all the classic flavors one expects from this traditional flock-tending delicacy.

There are several steps during the actual cooking part, but it’s all worth it in the end. Plus, it’s all very easy. You can make things move along a little quicker by multitasking. Step one? Preheat your oven to 400F. While that’s going, prep and boil your potatoes. The potatoes take around 20 minutes to cook through, so you can pivot to prepping all the vegetables that will go inside your glorious cottage pie. Once those tasks are complete, you’ll cook the Impossible™ Burger, cook the vegetables, combine them, and then mash up the potatoes.

Now it’s time to assemble the pie in your casserole dish. Spread the Impossible Burger and veggie mixture on the bottom of the dish, then add the mashed potatoes on top. Bake for 30 minutes, top with some crushed potato chips if you please, and garnish with parsley. You’ve done it: a warm, comforting, and filling meal, fit for 3-4 people. Enjoy!

7 steps
  1. COOK THE POTATOES

    Preheat your oven to 400℉. Peel and cut the potatoes into 2 inch chunks. Place the potatoes into a pot and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until cooked through.

  2. PREPARE THE VEGETABLES

    While the potatoes are cooking, rinse and thinly slice the mushrooms, peel and dice the onion, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, and finely dice the onion, carrot, and celery. Set aside. Wash and chop half of the parsley leaves and reserve the other half of remaining sprigs for garnish.

  3. COOK THE IMPOSSIBLE BURGER

    Place a sauté pan over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the pan. When the pan is very hot, add the Impossible Burger and break into pieces, allow to brown in the pan for about 2-3 minutes. Season with 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt and fresh pepper. Then stir the Impossible Burger with a flat spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan, and continue cooking and browning until little red is still showing, around 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside on a dish.

  4. COOK THE FILLING

    Reduce the heat to medium, and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and the mushrooms, to the pan. Season the mushrooms with a pinch of Kosher salt and pepper, cook for about 2 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their liquid. Once the liquid reduces completely, add the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery and cook until soft, about 6-10 minutes. Add the soy sauce, vegetable stock and peas, and bring to a boil. Add the cooked Impossible Burger and the chopped parsley. Set aside.

  5. MAKE THE MASHED POTATOES

    To make the mashed potatoes, mash the cooked, hot potatoes in a mixing bowl with a masher, a hand mixer, a ricer, or a food mill. Heat the milk in a microwave for 30 seconds or in a pan on the stove top, add to the potatoes, and then add the butter and season with 2 teaspoons Kosher salt. Mix until fully incorporated. Season to taste and add additional salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.

  6. BAKE THE PIE

    In the small casserole dish, place the Impossible Burger mixture on the bottom and top with the mashed potatoes, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the crumbled potato chips and garnish with the reserved parsley sprigs. Serve while piping hot!

  7. SERVE, SHARE AND ENJOY

    Makes 3-4 servings.
