Shepherd's Jacket Potatoes
Sometimes you need to mix up how you make a classic dish and create something new. One day we decided to combine two hearty dishes together (veggie Shepherd's Pie recipe and the good old Jacket Potato) to create this BOSH! classic dish. Don't forget to get a nice side of veggies as well! One thing that's also great about this dish is you can freeze the filling to make more meals whenever you fancy, maybe you could make Shepherd's Spaghetti... A fun and easy vegan dinner idea, and delicious, yet healthy comfort food!
