This pie is amazing! I grew up eating this and learned how to make it from my mother. She is amazing as well! I have used the same exact recipe that she used except that i use Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning in place of the Salt and Pepper. Enjoy!! This recipe and ingredients will make two full pies.
