Notes:
2023-10-02: An another excellent batch.
2023-02-08: Lyd baked the pie crust separately at 450 for 10 minutes, cooled, broke up and put on pot pie. I prefer the other way of a softer crust baked on the pot pie. Additional ingredients next time might include: 2 teaspoons Tabasco & Worcestershire, and 2 Tablespoons vinegar and 1 Tablespoon thyme. 2022-12-07: Served with grilled pineapple slices.
2022-01-03: We added a pack of bean blend.
2020-10-28: Lyd declares this the best batch ever made.
