I took this hearty ground beef and potato part of traditional British pub fare and tweaked it just slightly to make it vegetarian and lower fat, but still stick to your ribs and comforting. Making it in individual pot pie plates makes portion control, freezing and reheating easy for singles or families where everyone is on a different schedule too!
