Pot Pie

*Note - several posts will be made today, as we have been sitting on four or five entries that for whatever reason (laziness) have not been posted.*

This entry ties in nicely with the last one because it prominently features our homemade pie crust! Dave has always loved pot pie. It is possibly his dad's most favorite meal, and a point of bonding between them, as his mom and sister don't eat much meat. The recipe we use for the filling is from the Betty Crocker cookbook, probably slightly modified but not much. One major plus for this dish is that it requires little preperation the day of the pie. We cook chickens at our leisure and then freeze the meat, so you just need to take it out of the freezer and thaw.

Combine that with some onions, frozen peas and fresh carrots (we have found it is imparitive to cook your carrots first for a few minutes to soften, otherwise you end up with crunchy hard carrots and it is not pleasant) and then all you need to do is make the sauce. This is a flour/chicken stock combo.

Bake for a few minutes and then let it cool! We have pictures here from our most recent and probably most mammoth pot pie. We are also looking forward to making a turkey pot pie with some of our thanksgiving turkey.
