An easy to prepare and deliciously flavoursome dish which I doubled so as to stash some serves in the freezer. It freezes so well. Having had internet problems for the past month, and made this some time ago, we've already had one of the serves that had been in the freezer. It went into the freezer in step 7, was thawed overnight and then baked for the 60 minutes specified in step 8. Couldn't be easier. I used low-fat sour cream and the dish was wonderfully creamy. I also added some cumin and minced garlic and, instead of pastry, I used the crust from my Recipe #147047. Thanks for a super recipe, Kim. :)Made for Gimme 5!

This was a wonderful side dish to Kitten's Recipe #168529. I followed the recipe, minus the crust. This would be a wonderful main dish as is with a side salad - Ham or bacon would be a nice addition.

I really liked this Savory Pie! My husband thought it was a little bland. Instead of mashed potatoes, I used some leftover potatoes that had already been diced and roasted with carrots. I made http://www.recipezaar.com/Most-Incredible-No-Fail-Pie-Crust-28943 For the crust. I think I will make this again and add some garlic. Thanks Kim!

Hi kim..made you broccoli-potato pie last night for supper...it was just wonderful, my DH and myself love savory pies, they are easy to make, and usually taste great. I had leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge, with a carton of almost expired-date Ricotta cheese that i had to use up, and I used frozen broccoli...i saw this recipe, and that was it. It is very filling, but very good.... I will definately make this again soon. Thank you Kim for a wonderful recipe that myself and my husband really enjoyed :-)
