Published in Better Homes, and contributed by Donna Romo, this recipe is a winner. It is more like a cross between a quiche and a meat pie and it produces a lovely one dish meal. You have to make the crust yourself, but it is a real easy and comes together without much work. I definite must try recipe!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter
