Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 17g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
