This was really good, although I had to cook it a good deal longer than the forty-five minutes because the inside was so watery. The crust was fantastic and after I got the consistency right it was delicious. It reminded me somewhat of chicken pot pie. I had Garlic Green Beans (Recipe #43390) alongside.
