Just a heads up- the eggs used for the shepherds pie recipe are not included in the ingredient list for the recipe, but are mentioned in the directions. I am making this recipe right now and was confused. I thought this might be good to let you know. I made the quiona chicken parm and it was delicious! I am sure this will be great as well. Keep up the good work.
Fixed! Thanks a lot Evan. I appreciate that!
That was great! Made it for dinner tonight and everybody loved it! Can’t wait to try the slow cooker chicken pot pie !
Awesome – can’t wait to make this!! What size baking dish are you using for this particular recipe??
Thanks, man!
Thanks Anthony! It’s a 15×10!
Wow, thanks for the quick reply! I have a 13×9, so hopefully that will be big enough. Might have to pile it up a little higher 🙂
One more question if you don’t mind – do you have any approximate estimate for the weight of the onions? I don’t want to use too much or too little, but I’m sure as you know, the size of a “large” onion is very subjective. Might just have to wing it!
Thanks again,
Anthony
