I made this recipe with ingredients I had on hand. Therefore, I substituted organic whole wheat flour for the flour, vegetable broth for the chicken broth and half-and-half for the milk. I cut down the amount of diced ham to 2 cups. I used canned corn and added a can of french cut green beans. It turned out to be delicious!
I imagine this recipe could be tweaked several ways and it still would turn out well. Just be sure to test for saltiness after you add the ham, not before. Its a deep dish pie so serves more than 4 in my opinion. Very filling.
Sooo yummy. I made exact recipe but added frozen peas and carrots for my hubby. I didn’t have a deep dish pie pan so I made 2 8 inch pies and was perfect amount.
Fabulous! I added boiled carrots with the potatoes and a half cup sweet potato purée… has all the nutrients and tastes heavenly… I’ll add peas next time for color! Ready made crust makes it easy!
Absolutely wonderful recipe. I didn’t have cream, so I used 1% milk. Turned out great! Love the spice blend.
