Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 400g plant-based ground beef
  • 2 cups green beans
  • 2 cups of tomato sauce
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup vegan cheese, grated

  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. In a large pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
