Wow! This is great! The only changes I made is that I didn't have any onions, so I used 2 shallots, chopped and instead of regular salt I used onion salt. The other spice I didn't have and thus omited was was nutmeg. I also added 1 package of frozen peas & carrots to the meat mixture. Because I added the vegetables I cooked it 5 extra minutes in the oven. Thanks Tookcats for posting this keeper recipe. We will definitely be making it again very soon.

I don't know what went wrong, maybe my tastes are different. I followed the recipe to the letter, tasted it before I put it in a crust, and had to throw it away. I'm so sorry to write a bad review.
