I was really impressed with this recipe. I only use 1-1 1/2 lbs of venison (ground or cube steak cut into bite sized pieces. I was a little hesitant to use cinnamon and allspice, but it is better than I expected. Also, you can use any kind of root vegetables that you have on hand and peas are good as well. At first I couldn't get my sauce thick enough, so I took some of the broth out and put it in a measuring cup, added 2-3 tbsp of flour, whisked until mixed and then I added it back to the pan...sauce thickened right up! I wouldn't reduce any of the broth, just thicken it at the end...

I used leftovers pork from my crown roast and the flavor was delicious! I did have too wet a mixture--next time I will thicken it. I made my pie crust with lard and used a deep pie dish.
