1 (12 ounce) can chopped tomatoes

1 ½ cups rice milk

1 teaspoon paprika

1
Boil or microwave potatoes.

Saute the onion and garlic for a minute or two then add the carrots and green beans.
6
Add in Quorn, Worcestershire sauce, tamari, and tomatoes and continue to cook until the Quorn is completely thawed.

Add black pepper and cooked lentils.
8
Mash the potatoes with the rice milk and vegan margarine, or nutritional yeast.

They should be almost runny.
10
Pour filling into a large dutch oven and add potatoes on top.

Sprinkle with paprika and bake, covered, at 375 degrees for approx 35 minutes (or until the green beans are cooked through.

This makes enough food for an army, but it makes great leftovers.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
