This pie was amazing! The meatballs were so moist and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and tangy. The crust was perfectly flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again and again!

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. The sauce was also delicious and I had plenty left over to freeze for later. Overall, a great recipe that I will defini
