I saw this recipe and knew it would be a winner. I did add my own touch and changed the name but the inspiration was the same. Pam rocks and she has a ton of awesome recipes so check her site out!
One change that I made was to add 1/4 tsp. of chipotle chili powder to the cornbread mix. This was subtle but added an awesome smokeyness that was delicious.
I also added some peas and carrots that I had leftover in the freezer. Somehow, when I added the peas and carrots, it became a pot pie to me so that is what I called it. You can add whatever veggies you'd like!
Whatever you call it, it was absolutely delicious and I can't wait to make it again!!
