Notes: As you build your pie, be lavish with the ingredients, throwing in extra if you like.
I’m pretty sure that’s what Southern cooks have done for decades, and that is why you can’t get enough of this when it comes hot out of the oven.
It’s just as good reheated, but I’d recommend the oven instead of the microwave, to preserve the crisp crust.
