Couldn't find any real Ash Wednesday traditions for cuisine online, so I'm starting my own. I'm calling it it, "Hash Wednesday."

Changes: used onion powder instead of real onion; replaced cornstarch with tapioca flour; forgot oil!
Ingredients
1½ cup shredded hash browns, uncooked (I used one medium #potato)
1½ cup #broccoli florets
1 tbsp onion powder
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp lemon pepper
¼ tsp salt
4 Beyond Meat breakfast sausages, diced
12 ounces JUST Egg (1 bottle)
1/3 cup vegan cheese, shredded
1 tbsp tapioca flour
1 tbsp vegan mayo
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/8 tsp black salt
Vegan sour cream, to serve
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a sheet pan with foil, sprayed with a little cocnut oil or other cooking spray. Prepare a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
Toss together in a medium-sized bowl the hashbrowns, broccoli, chili powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper, salt, and onion powder. (You're supposed to add oil, but I forgot. I think because my hash browns were fresh and moist, I got by okay without it.) Spread on a prepared sheet pan.
Cook in a 375° oven for a total 30 minutes. Take out after 15 minutes and with a spatula, flip vegetables, and stir around, so that the vegetables on the ourside get switched around with the vegetables in the midddle. This is ensure more even cooking. Put back in the oven for 15 more minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, sautee the Beyond Meat sausages on medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned.
Now, combine the JUST Egg, tapioca flour, mayo, nutritional yeast, black salt, and vegan cheese shreads. Whisk together well, ensuring the flour is mixed in well and there are no little white lumps.
Put the cooked vegetables and vegan meat into the prepared medium-sized casserole dish. Pour the JUST Egg mixture evenly over the top, making sure that the vegetables are fully moistened.
Put in the 375° oven for 35-40 minutes. The top will be golden brown and when pressed slightly, you will see that the inside of the casserole is cooked. It might be slightly creamy, but not liquidy. It will become more solid as it sits.
Allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Add a dollop of vegan sour cream if you'd like.
