A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Our Favorite Recipes Cheater's Pot Pie

I made pork, but this recipe will make chicken or beef just as easy.

a package of stew meat or chunked chicken
onion, garlic, salt, pepper to taste.
1 can "veg-all" or a can of each of your favorite vegetables
1-2 cans "grands" flaky biscuits
2-3 potatoes peeled and diced on the small side
1/4 c. milk or cream
1/3 c. flour

boil meat with seasoning until tender, add vegetables and diced potatoes, continue to boil

in medium bowl, whisk flour with liquid from the boiling pot, until runny and smooth. pour into pot with meat and veggies, add milk, and turn to a heavy simmer - stiring frequently.

grease bottom of baking pan then line with flattened biscuites, slightly overlapping, and pushing up the sides to make a "bottom" crust. for a 9x13 glass pan, i had to use a can plus 1 of the next can of biscuits. bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

remove from oven, add filling (the meat and veggies, which should have thickend a bit by now) then top with remainder of biscuits flattened. you probably won't cover the whole pan, but that's ok.

bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for 15 minutes, or until top biscuits are the desired level of "brown".

serve hot in bowls.

I've got to figure out how to make your cheaters recipe in single servings. That sounds wonderful for left over home made soup. Yummy Yummy Yummy.

tammy, to make single servings, use a single biscuit in an oven safe single serve bowl, bake 5-7 minutes, the add the soup, top with the second biscuit, bake again, let cool, wrap in plastic wrap, freeze.

to heat, put one in a cold oven, (very important that you heat your frozen dish as the oven heats, unless you thought it completely first) then turn on to 350, after the oven reaches temp, bake 10-15 minutes. and you are good to go!
