Homemade Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie Recipe

One of my husband's favorites, Shepherd's pie is a traditional English dish, but is also a favorite dish in America. Basically, it is a casserole recipe that requires ground beef to be covered in gravy and then finally topped with mashed potatoes. Although the taste is favored by many, it is not the best solution for vegetarians and heart healthy conscience chefs. Therefore, I have created a great recipe that combines this English dish with a healthy flare. It contains lentils, garlic and bulgur wheat which are three primary heart-healthy ingredients.

Ingredients:
8 oz uncooked lentils
16 oz water
1 bay leaf
16 oz boiling water
8 oz Bulgur Wheat
½ tsp minced garlic
¼ tsp sea salt
8 oz mozzarella, grated
1 medium onion, finely chopped
16 oz tomatoes, diced
24 oz mashed potatoes
Flax seed (optional)
