THIS IS GREAT! I have made it two ways. I did it just as the recipe says to. As well I have mixed all the ingredients up together and than put them in the pie crust. I would suggest a deep dish pie crust mine always over flows... Take the time and try this you will be glad you did!

We thought this was just "okay" nothing spectacular, but not horrible either. We probably wont make it again. Nothing against the recipe, just our taste buds. Thanks for posting!

Made this for my husband. Great flavor. Definitely would make again.

I liked it, but thought it was a bit heavy in quantity of meat. DH loved it, because he likes meat so much. Not one of my favorite breakfast pies.

I tagged this recipe to use up some cream cheese and a pie shell and I'm glad I did! Very good and easy - this made a great Sunday night supper. Thanks for sharing!
