Ingredients:

Casserole Ingredients;

• 3 Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and diced
• 12 peeled pearl onions
• 1 cup of English peas

Casserole Dressing:

• 1/2 a cup of melted unsalted butter
• 5 sage leaves
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• Pinch of pepper
• 1 tsp cream of tartar

Topping:

• 1 Pre-made pie crust

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Peel and dice all of your veggies, and combine in a bowl.
3. Pour your veggies into a casserole dish.
4. Mix together your casserole dressing ingredients in a separate bowl, and set aside to allow the sage flavor to soak into the butter.
5. Print out the Bambi inspired template, which you can download here.
6. Cut out the Thumper and Bambi inspired silhouettes, and then on an un-rolled pre-made pie crust, use a toothpick to trace the shapes. Cut out 6 Bambi shapes and 6 Thumper shapes.
7. Remove the sage leaves from your dressing, and then pour all of it over your casserole evenly, leaving about 1 Tbsp leftover in the bowl.
8. Place your pie cut out shapes on top of the casserole, my dish fit about 15 shapes. Typical casserole dishes will fit 12-18 shapes.
9. Using your remaining dressing, brush lightly onto the pie crust shapes.
10. Bake for 40 minutes.
