I HATE THAT!!! It reminds me of SHEPPARD'S PIE!!!

Something about a great piece of tenderloin sinking in soggy garlic smashed potatos that are drowning in some kinda' sauce that's buried under soggy onion rings.........

Hell, use a bigger plate and give everything its own place on the plate.

Now that's a good explanation! Your right, maybe the reason I dont like it is because I like all the ingredients!

That isnt as interesting as I thought it was going to be! I once had a guy threaten to kill me bacause he thought I walked in his flower garden. When the police couldnt find any footprints, he decided it was time to apologize...I wish I had followed up on that because it really pi$$ed me off at the time.

Hey....would chicken pot pie be considered a one pot meal?

It's what I had for supper. A home made one. Mmmm.

Heres the thing, he was a new guy, water meter reader, where I lived, all four meters mine and my 3 surrounding neighbors , were all together in back of the property with an unfenced easement,

anyway, I got charged with assault and he took an ambulance ride, I got a letter after from an ins company wanting me to pay,, I just tore it up, That was 6 years ago , and I never heard from them again, BTW, he quit the meter reader business, Had a Hot little Blond chick that loved dogs after that ,, LOL

About 25% of one. It was regular pie size. Not those little ones you get at the store, in the freezer section.

Then that would be a one pot meal.

Reason I asked is that I usually make two chicken or turkey pies at a time (with an apple or blueberry one, too, since the oven's already on). One pie (mine) is loaded with veggies. The other one (for the kids - at least when they were smaller) has no veggies. They still ate veggies, just not IN the pie.

Not like sheppards pie? Inconciveable!

One of my favorites is Frogmore Stew, especially in the summer:

Get a big pot with about 6 quarts of water boiling.
Add 1 can of Old Bay seasoning to the water
Put in a 3 to 4 pounds of red new potatoes, cut in half. Boil 5 minutes
Add some quartered onions
Put in 2 or 3 pounds of smoked or andouille sausage, cut up. Boil 5 more minutes
Put in 8 ears of sweet corn, broken in half, boil 5 more minutes
Add 2 or 3 pounds of shrimp, fresh or frozen, heads off, in the shell
Continue boiling until the shrimp is just done

Enjoy with friends and cold beer! Peel & eat shrimp with all the fixings. Even the California types should like this one.

Low Country Boil is one of my favorites when I visit my parents in NC. So I thought I would post a demonstration pic from my parents place of the proper method for eating Low Country Boil. Some butcher block paper on the table, dump everything in the middle, and then dig in.

That looks about right. There is a restaurant around here that is kind of tucked away from civilization (but is always packed) that serves it in large buckets for the table, and plenty of newspapers for the left over parts.

beans
sausage
bacon or other form of ham/pork product
lots of chili powder and cayenne
onions
garlic

in the crockpot to absorb gas left in the crockpot to simmer for
at least 24 hours but better for 48
