About


This delicious pie is a pie my grandma used to bake, and I was busy hounding her for the recipe. She didn't remember it very well, but she knew the basics. So i figured I'd look it up, and this recipe was already mostly made, and was almost exactly the same to hers, however, it didn't mention the onions or bell peppers at all. I figured I'd rectify that situation. Hope everyone enjoys this childhood favorite as much as I do.
