How to Make Let's Pretend It's Shepherd's Pie
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of bulgur wheat and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.
- Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable bouillon paste (or 1 bouillon cube).
- Remove from heat and let the mixture sit, covered, for 10-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the bulgur mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Top the bulgur with 1 cup of frozen or canned corn.
- Spread 3 cups of mashed potatoes evenly over the corn layer. (You can use store-bought or make your own)
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the mashed potatoes.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
