It is not necessary to soak the lentils in advance. If preferred, canned lentils may replace the dried lentils (2 cups canned is equivalent to about 1 cup dried).
The pies can be frozen right after having been covered with the mashed potatoes and individually wrapped. They can be baked (taken directly from the freezer) for about 50 min at 190°C/375°F.

Holy pots batman! This recipe required the use of many pots and pans (some which could be re-used throughout the making). We omitted the tabasco sauce, which was a mistake because it reduced the flavor. The mushrooms were so tasty and mixed well with the lentils and the onions for the bottom layer.
Loved this! It was total comfort food. I used canned lentils because they had been sitting in my cupboard so I was glad to finally find a use for them. I also cooked the mushrooms, onions and garlic together (mushrooms first, then onion and garlic) to cut down on pots and pans and microwaved the frozen corn (which I doubled). I will definitely make this again.
Nice way to get the kids to eat lentil.
