No one said "deep dish" pie crust. And THAT matters.

Very easy and tasty. Loved the creaminess of the cream cheese in this. I had some pre-sliced Swiss cheese, so instead of using shredded cheese, I just diced the slices up, which worked fine. I am going to try gouda next time. Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.
