Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie with Sweet Potato Crust. Easy Mushroom Gravy Pot pie with mushrooms, cannellini or white beans, chard, topped with sliced sweet potato. Vegan Nut-free Recipe. Can be made gluten-free, Soy-free and oil-free Jump to Recipe
This pot pie brings together all my favorite flavors. Caramelized onion and mushroom, earthy balsamic vinegar, herbs, and a crisp sweet potato topping!
I like to make individual portions, but you can easily make one large dish. The pot pie can be made without gluten or grain and can be made without oil as well. Use other greens of choice and change up the topping for variation. Top with vegan puff pastry for a decadent pie. Or just make the filling and serve over mashed potatoes or veggies. The mushroom bean filling is a mix of savory mushroom gravy and beans and works amazingly with mashed veggies as well.

November 2, 2019 at 6:52 amHi there, I’m intrigued but don’t have ramekins. How would you suggest adapting for making this in a casserole dish instead?

November 2, 2019 at 6:53 amPlease delete, I missed the note in the recipe. Sorry!

November 3, 2019 at 7:07 pmHuge hit! I used a russet potato instead of sweet potatoes, and it smelled heavenly while making it and tasted fantastic while eating it. I might swap the beans for lentils next time just to disguise them a bit more for my fiance who’s not big on beans. I really loved this!

November 5, 2019 at 3:55 pmMade it without the greens (shopping tomorrow). Used two glass bread pans so it can be easily stored for a second night’s dinner. Fabulous gravy. I’ll use this dish for the Christmas potluck at meeting.

November 13, 2019 at 6:28 amThis was out of this world delish! I cooked my own mayocoba beans and added a handful of frozen spinach. The umami of this is incredible. Will consider it for holiday fare. I wonder what a handful of wild rice would be like in the mix??? Thank you Richa, your recipes are wonderful, keep ’em coming!
Richa says
November 13, 2019 at 11:27 amAweesome! you would have to precook the wild rice and mix in.

November 26, 2019 at 9:26 pmMaybe I’m missing something or it’s lost in formatting since I’m viewing on mobile….but it doesn’t seem to show what AMOUNTS of each ingredient goes into the recipe. How many mushrooms, how much balsamic, etc. And for the cannellini beans, should they be dry or canned? Thank you!

December 4, 2019 at 6:37 pmthy might overpower the gravy flavor a bit. but overall should work fine

December 29, 2019 at 7:24 pmMy son and I made this tonight for Sunday dinner. A couple of the family members thought they hated mushrooms and had serious doubts about this dish; others were skeptical because it was vegan – all seven loved it and went back for seconds and thirds! I’m celiac so we made it gluten free. Other substitutions: used red wine instead of the vinegar and kale instead of the chard. Thanks so much for the recipe, Richa! Fyi, each of my sons got one of your cookbooks for Christmas.

June 3, 2020 at 8:15 amI was blown away on how good this was . The mushroom gravy that it made was creamy and delicious I added wine to my gravy. You can pretty much add whatever vegetable you have around . I put fresh zucchini , frozen Lima beans, spinach and mushrooms ,that what makes the dish so special. I added wine, garlic, and olive oil to mushrooms . I also used the sweet potato crust. Incredibly delicious ! My husband love it too he couldn’t believe that it was meat free.
