- 1½ cups vegan ground beef substitute
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2½ cups sliced mushrooms cremini or button
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¾ cup vegan shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional, for a cheesy kick
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions

- Heat olive oil in skillet, sauté onions until soft—about 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, then toss in mushrooms and cook until they release their sass (and moisture).
- Stir in vegan beef, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let it mingle and brown for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in nutritional yeast if using, then stir everything like you mean it.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Top with vegan cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden like your mood on payday.
