Chopped up leftover pot roast and gravy, added mixed vegetables. Turned out great! - 3/9/17

Had to use up some potatoes, so topped it the more traditional way, but used your spicing for it and the meat/veggie mix. Did add mushrooms and spinach rather than brocolli, as those are the veggies we had. Heavenly! - 4/7/13

Note to Self: don't steam the cauliflower in broth and then not drain it. Stick to the 10 oz of broth and make sure you cornstarch it! - 3/5/12

Great basic recipe to adapt for a really yummy pie. I make this serve 6, putting it into individual dishes. Used frozen mixed vegetables as opposed to the canned vegetables. It is really good. I'll use it again, and adapt based on what it in my frig or pantry! - 1/9/12

Yummy. Very satisfying. Instead of the 10 portions, I figured out 2.5 portions would be good for a dinner. Will be making again! - 8/9/11
