A wonderful meat pie for days when you want hot creamy comfort food. I made this recipe almost to the letter with the difference being that I used olive oil instead of butter to cook the vegetable in. I would suggest using a large casserole pan. Yum... serve with a nice garden salad for nice crunchy contrast.
