Simmering the sauce and spices insures a deep and rich flavor. Beginning with butter and sautéed onions makes it extra special.

You will love this super easy, creamy pot pie recipe! Talk about a great way to get your family to eat their vegetables. You can change it up by using ham or turkey instead of chicken, also add fresh vegetables and herbs to give it a homemade touch.

This recipe was given to me at my bridal shower by my mother-in-law. I didn't make these cookies until 8 years later at my daughter's 3rd birthday! They turned out better than any other sugar cookies recipe I have tried.
