Tom chooses this for his birthday lunch every year and, since it’s a crew favorite, we have it on many other days as well. A virtual meal in a single casserole, this dish refrigerates and freezes well, and it also reheats beautifully. All of which makes it a good choice to take to a potluck . . . or not take anywhere at all and simply enjoy at home.
Prepare in advance:
- One firm (14-ounce) tofu cake, frozen, thawed, and pressed to remove excess moisture; then cut into small cubes. (To press, place on flat plate or baking pan on a folded dish towel and cover with a second towel and baking pan. Place a weight on top and allow to sit for 30 minutes.)
- Two (9-inch) prebaked piecrusts, sugar omitted, optional.
- Three cups mashed potatoes (use white or sweet potatoes, or a combination); can add parsley and minced garlic.
