Ratatouille-Topped Shepherd's Pie Recipe

Preheat oven to 400?F.

Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over medium heat. Add and saute onion, then garlic until both are fragrant and softened. Add ground beef. Sear the beef before crumbling, and sear again until cooked through.

Stir in lentils, beans, corn, and carrots. Sprinkle in soup powder, and stir to combine with the beef. Add 1/4 cup water, stir it well, and cook until the sauce has thickened. Transfer to 2 round baking dishes. Set aside.

Toss zucchini and tomato slices and cheese with remaining oil. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Top each baking dish with veggie slices, and bake until tops of veggies are softened, about 20 minutes. Serve while hot.
