Bac’n Beer & Mushroom Pie

Step 1

First, make your crust: Add both flours and the pinch of salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

Step 2

Then, use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the vegan butter. You want to mix the butter into the flours and chop it into pea-sized pieces. The result should look like wet sand. Now, add your cold water and stir to combine.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a generously floured surface and knead it together with your hands until JUST combined. You want to touch it as little as possible; this step can also be done in a food processor with a dough hook. Wrap the crust dough in plastic wrap or parchment and place it in the fridge while you make the filling.

Step 4

Pour the olive oil into a large pot and heat on medium-high heat for a minute. Then, add your onions, carrots, and garlic along with a pinch of salt. Stir and cook - uncovered - for 5-7 mintues.

Step 5

Next, add the mushrooms and cover the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes on medium heat.

Step 6

Remove the cover and stir in the flour, cumin, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the veggies are coated evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the beer followed by the vegan Worcestershire, soy sauce, and ketchup. Stir. Cover and cook 8 minutes.

Step 8

Finally, stir in the nutritional yeast and green beans. Cook uncovered on a low heat for another 5 minutes.

Step 9

Time to assemble the pie! Preheat the oven to 400F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.Take your dough out of the fridge and wrapper. Turn it onto a floured surface and cut in half.

Step 10

Roll out the first half of the dough into as much of a circle as possible with about a 10-inch diameter. This will be your bottom crust. Transfer this to the pie dish and use your hands to form the dough to the dish.

Step 11

Next, add your filling. Make sure it's as level as possible.

Step 12

Then, roll out your second half of the dough just like you did the first. Once it's all rolled out, sprinkle 1 Tbsp Bac'n Salt onto the dough and gently roll over the dough once more with your rolling pin, just to press the Bac'n into the crust - YUM!

Step 13

Carefully transfer the crust to the pie dish. Lie it on top of the pie with the sides hanging over. If they're hanging too far over, feel free to cut it a bit. Use your hands to roll up and pinch the crust to the sides of the pie dish, as seen in the photos and video above. This doesn't have to be perfect.

Step 14

Before adding it to the oven, gently brush the crust with a little melted vegan butter or coconut oil. Bake this for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool a bit before slicing and enjoy!
