There isn’t really a sub for nutritional yeast, but you don’t really need it. The mashed potatoes will still be fantastic!

we made this with the addition of corn and mushrooms. i had to use salt in place of the soy due to an allergy and didn’t have any wine, so i left that out. it was good, but we didn’t really care for the thyme, oregano and marjoram. next time i will make it without those and maybe just use parsley, salt and pepper. the flavor was just a little overpowering and reminded us a little of pizza which was confusing. i loved the base of the recipe and was pleased with the nutritional yeast as this was my first time using that ingredient. thank you thank you thank you!

@ Vicki – The alcohol gets stirred in and then the whole thing reduces down to a thick sauce. I’m sure the actual alcohol burns off, but it leaves the lovely ‘wine-y’ flavor behind!

This looks delish! Do you cook the alcohol off at all or just stir it in?

Sayward (and contemplating readers…),
I made this Friday and my husband loved it SO MUCH he asked me to make it again tonight ;) I did tweak it some (as always ;) – my main change being the addition of an entire package of sliced button mushrooms (we LOVE mushrooms). Tonight I made it with asparagus (also delish). I had a great chicken pie recipe I used to make pre-vegan days… but it had a crust – and what’s great about this recipe is that it reheats awesome because there’s no crust to get soggy. Leftovers are just as good. 5 stars!!

Oh my! Finally a shepard’s pie I’d eat! When I ate meat I absolutely HATED shepards pie because it didn’t smell good nor did it taste very good. I am so excited to make this dish! Thanks Sayward <3
