This was perfect!! I used premade pie crusts, half of a 10 oz package of mixed veggies (corn, green beans, peas, and carrots), and added 1/4 cup cooked onion and one baking potato, cooked and cut into cubes. (and bumped the spices up a little bit to make up for adding the onion and potato) I also used 1% milk instead of cream or half and half, and it was still delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

My family loved this as well, especially my 'pot-pie hating' daughter! I followed your idea of only using half the package of peas and carrots and added some leftover diced, roasted potatoes in place of them. Excellent flavor...I really like making my own sauce instead of adding a can of cream of whatever! I think I'll make a bit more sauce next time for my saucy husband :) Thanks Windchime for the keeper!
