Tonight I threw together a lentil shepherd's pie that turned out pretty well. I'm a sucker for anything involving mashed potatoes, so I loved it. The kids, not so much. Meh.
I cooked the lentils in turmeric and cloves and then mixed them with carrots, onion, corn, peas, and a can of diced tomatoes (I was planning on adding mushrooms, but they went bad before I got around to making this...boo.) I added some garlic salt, white pepper, and parsley. I put all that in a 9x13 baking dish, then topped with some skin-on mashed potatoes. Luckily, I made "too many" potatoes so I can eat starchy white carbs to my heart's content tomorrow. Then I baked it at 350 for about 45 minutes to let the carrots cook.
I didn't take any pictures, but this meal is very filling and affordable. We could probably eat it for the next two days but tomorrow is Mother's Day...I think I'll pass on eating leftovers!
