How do I make a vegetarian version of a classic shepherd's pie

Sure thing! Here are three different ways to make a vegetarian shepherd's pie:

**Lentil Delight**: Start by sautéing some onions, garlic, and carrots in a pan. Then, add cooked lentils, diced tomatoes, and your favorite veggies like peas and corn. Season it with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. For the topping, whip up some creamy mashed potatoes (maybe add a bit of butter or plant-based milk for extra creaminess) and spread it over the lentil mix. Bake until golden and bubbly!

**Mushroom Medley**: Use a mix of mushrooms for a hearty base. Sauté them with onions, garlic, and some chopped bell peppers. Stir in vegetable broth, a splash of soy sauce, and your choice of herbs. For the topping, you can use mashed sweet potatoes for a twist or stick with traditional mashed potatoes. Bake it until the top is nice and crispy!
