Pot Pie is an excellent way to get rid of all thos eleftover meats and veggies. but if you don't have too many left overs, it's not very expensive
to make. The plus is that you can freeze them, if you are just too turkey'd out and have a great meal a couple of weeks later!
INGREDIENTS
Crust
1box (15 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box (2 of using sheet cake pan)Filling
Leftover turkey, ham or chicken (if making without holiday leftovers, you can use the meat from a roast deli chicken)Leftover vegetables, drained (if you need more, different varities, you can use frozen or canned, just make sure drained of all juice and thawed)
2-4 packets of White Gravy Mix, made according to packet instructions
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 425°F.2. Place one of the pie crusts into your pie pan (serves as bottom crust) (note: you can also use a sheet cake pan, or bread pan, you just may need to cut the crust, or combine 1 1/2 for the bottom crust)
3. In large bowl, combine the meat and veggies. Add 2 packets worth of gravy. Stir.
4. Add your veggie mix to the pie plate, spread out, You don;t want to mound hardly at all, as it may leak out everywhere.
5. Place top crust over mix, sealing sides. Cut slits in top for venting.
6. Place pie on cookie sheet (to allow for spillouts)
7. Place in over and cook for 30-40 minutes til golden brown and done. let stand 5 minutes before serving to settle juices.
Serve with salad- walla- simple and easy dinner!
Note: when you get to step 5, skip the slit cutting and you can cover and FREEZE for a meal later! When you take out of freezer you go straight to oven, you'll just have 15-20 minutes more cook time. Also if you have leftover mix, you can put in smaller baking container and freeze, just add crust when you are ready to cook!
Option:
If you want a fancier top crust and you didn't put potatoes in the pie itself, you can slice 2-3 potatoes. parboil them, then drain to get out all excess water. Then layer them on the top cocentrically, like a tart. brush with butter and add some shredded chesse. Cook as above. if starts to get too brown before the pie is down, cover with foil.
