To Caroline, white flour has more gluten which works as a thickener. Whole wheat won't have the same effect. There are alternatives, but it's not worth it really.

I made this for my parents who need to eat healthier, but resist change and cutting out meat would normally be the last thing they would do. I made 1/3 of the portion with Sweet Baby Ray's as Kate suggested and the rest just as the recipe calls. They LOVED it! I am so pleased. It was really very easy and the very little leftovers will be delicious for lunch. I can't believe my meat and potatoes father went on and on about how great it was (he liked the BBQ version). I also made fresh mashed potatoes. Yummmm.

I'm really a newbie when it comes to cooking, but I was wondering if whole wheat flour could be used instead of white? I know it's such a small amount but I try to avoid white flour as much as possible. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks :)

I've been making a meatless shepherd's pie with morningstar's crumblers for years! I also use mixed veggies, and for seasoning I use Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and freshly ground black pepper on the crumblers. Layering shredded co-jack cheese underneath AND on top of the mashed potatoes makes it yummy to the max!

This came out delicious and was very easy to make. I used a mixed frozen bag of carrots,beans, corn and peas and frozen broccoli too. Also I didn't have bay leaves or whole cloves so I used ground up cloves. I also put french's fried onions on top. Delish!
