Well! After the other review I was a bit nervous of making this... Christmas has not been good to our wastelines! Never the less, I made it for 5 people for dinner last night and the only substitution was that I used a little Olive Oil in place of the cup of margarine. Everyone raved about it, and it was a real success. From the left over crust dough, my father in law cut an L and placed it on top, to show it's my first time with the recipe and it's a learner pie! It won't be the last time though. It was simple and quick and delicious. Thanks Chef!

I did not make this, however, if you look at the calories 1333 (not to mention the portion is 1.5 lbs) is almost a full days worth of energy. Not exactly something people should be eating with any regularity. The submitter had it right when they said it's "to die for", because you will if this is your normal meal intake.
