    Whole family loved it. Delicious.
    Didn't have asparagus so added some frozen mixed vegetables. Used a cooked chicken. and put mashed potato on top instead of the breadcrumbs.

    Loved it. Used 1.2 kg chicken thighs, and 1 kg mixed veggies including said asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, carrot. I almost doubled the sauce (not Mayo), but did not need to. Made 2 pies with puff pastry. Huge hit.

    Thanks for sharing.

    BEAUTIFUL.
    I did similar to Granick and made into a pasta bake.
    My 2 fussy toddlers ate 2 bowls each!

    One word...Delicious! Was loved by my fussy husband and 4 year old. Winning!

    Followed Granick's suggestion and added chopped ham, 500g spiral pasta and 1C cream.

    Really nice. Thanks for the recipe. Mine was quite a bit runny, so we dunked bread in which was tasty.
