I've made this before and it was great. I would say to half the pepper and half the thyme and add sage in replace of the removed thyme. As a quite comfort meal, try making this on the stove top and serve with biscuits. My variation is as follows: I double the recipe for leftovers. 1 can each of cream of mushroom and cream of potato. Half the pepper, Half the thyme and replace the other half with sage. Salt and/or seasoning salt to taste. I warmed this on the stove and allowed the flavors to mix together. Approx 20-30 minutes on low (after getting it hot/boiling). Stir often. Another variation, try this recipe in a casserole dish and add canned biscuits (uncooked) to the top of the mixture about halfway through cooktime.

Great recipe. Nice foundation and easy to make it your own, adding your own favorites. I will say that, at the suggestion of others, we added more cornstarch to thicken the recipe. I don't think that it was necessary in the least; however, I am actually a fan of a very creamy/juicy pot pie (which of course begs the question, "well, why did you add more cornstarch?! lol. I'm a big fan of reviewer suggestion, I guess). I made a big stock pot, so that I can freeze it for easy future preparation. Another very good suggestion made by another reveiwer. I'll simply add more vegetable stock or water for future creamier pot pies! Definitely a keeper and for the meat eaters, chicken, turkey, beef, etc. would go wonderfully with this recipe, but you don't miss it at all.

Fantastic! Following the advice of others I cut sugar down to 1/2 cup, put in 1 full (rounded) teaspoon of cinnamon and used 1 and 1/4 cup of raisins (and will use more next time!). I added 1/4 cup of milled flax seeds. I used wheat flour instead of white. Canola oil instead of vegetable. Baked for 25 mins and voila! Like others have said, do watch this while in the oven. I checked once at 20 mins and then at 25 mins. As soon as it turns golden brown around edges, its done! 3 year old and hubby devoured these. I am going to make another batch (only 24 hrs after making the first batch).
