This flavorful veggie casserole uses portobello mushrooms to create a delicious, meaty filling that’s brimming with savory umami flavors. Juicy peas and tender carrots add tantalizing texture, while the velvety mashed potato topping gets its creamy consistency from plant-based milk and starchy potato water.
