Hi Mike,
I’m always searching for delicious but easy recipes, and I really thank you for this one. I love the idea of one pot for both the stove top prep and the oven. How quick and easy is that? Pot pies are such an incredible comfort food. My family certainly loves them, and I suspect that’s true of most families. This is bound to be a hit!
