This is not calorie friendly, but it is dearly loved in my house. I make it from scratch most of the time, but have been known to "cheat". I have used a store bought rotisserie chicken or left over chicken/turkey and refrigerated pie crust or even puff pastry (single top crust). Mamaw did not EVER! (please don't tell on me) You can omit or add any veggie you want. I love to use broccoli (al dente) also in addition to the listed veggies. Hey...I sneak it in on the kids every chance I get! You can also skip the double crust deep dish and opt for (2) single top crusted pies in regular pie pans.
