Have been on a low carb eating plan for a few weeks now using this app and am just starting to experiment with recipes. I love pot pie so I made this tonight with a few tweaks. i used bacon grease and chicken fat rendered from the skin of a chicken I recently made to make a rue with 1 Tbsp each of almond flour & coconut flour. I also used macadamia nuts in the crust with the cashews and ground them with the cheddar and butter in my food processor after using it to chop the bacon adding extra flavor. It came out pretty tasty. I was surprised by how much I liked the crust and will experiment more with this method using other ingredients for future entrees that require and added crunch.

The ingredients list needs to say "cheddar," as the recipe does, not just "cheese."

Could the cashews be substituted for a lower carb nut? (Macadamias, walnuts, etc)

Yes definitely, walnuts would work particularly well!
