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.

The gravy is really good (I used dried herbs). I used a variety of mushrooms. I steamed two medium russet potatoes, sliced them up, laid them over the top (pushing the extra pieces around the edges), and drizzled some olive oil. They were crispy and delicious. Thank you.
Awesome!!
Delicious!
I added some leftover potato to the mix, which I liked better than the potato on top. Next time I’ll probably skip the baking and just serve the mixture over mashed potatoes or pasta. Overall a very tasty recipe!
Glad you liked it!
I’ve made this several times now and have now settled on making the mushrooms and bean mixture and serving alongside mashed sweet potatoes. It’s quick and delicious – everyone loves it. Thank you Richa.
Yummy!
Would sherry work instead of wine or soy? Also, would I still use balsamic vinegar with the sherry?
Sherry is quite sweet, so while you technically can use it I wouldn’t recommend doing so. If you do use sherry, I would skip the balsamic.
Made this for lunch today. Very tasty!
We love baked onions and I topped the dish with chopped onions. This went rather well and still looked nice.
I had to use butter beans (not my favourite, but it was the only can of beans left in the pantry). I think they are a bit too large and I shall make this dish again with smaller white beans.
good way to clean up the pantry
