Vegetable Pie in Beef Shell

Jean demonstrated this Vegetable Pie in Beef Shell in the Caring Place Community Kitchen upon Minoo’s request. Jean had demonstrated this pie at another community kitchen which I did not attend and it was so good that the portion that the members supposed to bring home was gobbled up on the spot.

Jean made two dishes in the Gilmore Park Church cooking club meeting. Her first dish is a Norwegian Apple Pie which is a crust less pie.
