Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the filling before thickening. Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. You can make a crustless version by layering the filling in a casserole dish and topping with mashed potatoes.
