Comfort food at its finest. I followed the recipe to a "T" and it came out perfectly. I did take mine out at the 40 minute mark because my pie crust was getting dark. I thought my husband and son were going to finish the whole thing, they loved it so much. The recipe is so simple and the results are wonderful. Great flavor. I might try adding cooked, cubed potatoes to the mixture next time. Note: the recipe doesn't list the ingredients in order of use, which would be helpful. Also, the directions don't use the garlic powder (I didn't add it). Made for Pick A Chef 2012. Thank you!

As my name suggests, I am a part-time hobbit, escaping to my quiet life in the Shire whenever I can.
In reality, I am a busy student who uses cooking as therapy. I am severely gluten intolerant and mildly dairy intolerant, so most of the recipes I post/comment on will be compatible with my dietary restrictions. Still, I love to eat, and have learned that you don't have to sacrifice flavor and personality when you go gluten and dairy free. I tend to like recipes that are either real homey comfort food, or transport me to the places I've travelled to, or would like to someday visit.
I believe in eating organic, ethically raised meat and vegetables. I like to stay as close to nature as possible, eating mostly whole
foods.
