Morningstar Farms sends me newsletters every so often and sometimes they include recipes. For tonights dinner I took one of their recipes, made a bunch of changes and created Rustin’s Crumble Bumble!

Rustin’s Crumble Bumble
2 cups veggie broth
1 1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 cup diced celery

1 1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 1/2 cup corn
1 can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 bag Morningstar Farms meat crumbles
2 bay leafs
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 servings mashed potatoes
1 cup cheese

2 Tablespoons flour

In a large sauce pan bring the broth, onion, celery, carrots, beans, corn, pepper, garlic, and bay leaves to a low boil (high simmer) until the veggies are tender. Then mix in the bag of Morningstar Farms ground beef crumbles and mix well. Cook until the ‘meat’ cooks through. Next take a 1/2 cup of broth out and mix it with the flour. Slowly add it back in and let the mixture simmer until it thickens.

Pour the mixture into a greased 3 qt casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes that have been mixed with some Italian cheeses (Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Mozzarella). I went light on the cheese–you can always add more once plated. The point of the cheese in the taters is to help it get golden brown and crispy on top.

Cook in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. I cooked mine for about 22 minutes and then switched it to broil for a minute or two. Watch it though, you don’t want it to burn!

Delicious!
