Yum! This recipe was great. So tasty and delicious. I added corn and peas in mine and it was a lovely meal. -
A great recipe five stars from everyone in my family.This is my first time making a casserole of any sort.This was a great way to start and now i am interested in the other many recipes on this site thank you very much. I also make this regularly now and have it down to a science. It's a very easy recipe to make and it takes very little time. -
This is good. Next time I will leave out the nutmeg. Personal preference. -
Very easy & fast to make. Made only 1/2 the recipe and used cream for potatoes and 5 lg. mushrooms. Will make again. Thanks Sue. -
It was pretty good. Boyfriend loved it. I thought it would be more flavorful, maybe because I forgot the worcestershire sauce. I need to put in a little less ingredients next time. The grease and food kept overflowing as the pie was baking.
