What a great pie! I had to use up alot of things in my ref. so here is what I did.... Instead of using a can of mixed vegetables, I chopped up and used fresh green beans,frozen corn, celery, green onions, regular onion,carrots and red potatoes. I boiled the veggies in chicken broth and added black pepper and Kosher salt. Than I made Recipe #44746 cause I don't buy store brand anymore. I also used whipping cream instead of milk and I added monterey jack cheese along with cheddar cheese. I used the four cheese instant potatoes. It turned out GREAT!! My DH just was on cloud nine :) He said he could eat this everyday of the week if he had too. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! :) Its one I am sure I will be making again and again! -
Really quick and easy, and you can easily substitute ingredients (I had no can soup so made up dry with cream, half the cheese, no green pepper or canned veg so I used frozen mixed...) and my partner loved it! Definitely one for the permanent recipe book. Thanks for posting! -

I am a mother of seven kids and my husband is active duty military! I love to cook all types of food! If I post a recipe, you can guarantee it is kid approved and will pass even the pickiest eaters! I am a SAHM and full time graduate student. For those of you who don't know what that means, that means I don't have enough time, so most of my recipes are quick and easy! I am always looking for other great quick and easy kid approved meals!
