Homemade Pot Pie


You know those delicious pot pies in the grocery store? I remember eating them as a child, I loved them so much. But if you're a vegetarian your options are very limited (the veggie pot pies I did find were expensive and bland.) Also if you are health conscious they are not quite the best choice. Actually, I find it amusing. My aunt always goes to look at the pot pies when we are shopping, then she'll flip them over and complain about how unhealthy they are. But I found out recently they are ridiculously easy to make! And tasty. Yummy.


Ingredients:
  • Cream of potato soup
  • Mixed veggies (I used frozen, but feel free to use fresh if you want)
  • Crescent dough
  • Spices
Directions:
Mix the cream of potato, veggies and spices together. I used garlic and no salt seasoning. You can add whatever you want!

For the crusts there are two things you can do. We bought the little pie tins and put the dough in there. You could also use those Crème brûlée dishes. Additionally you could make one large pot pie, but I like the smaller ones better because you can personalize them if you are baking for more than one person.

Make sure to poke holes in the top crust and then bake at 350° for about 40 minutes. We covered ours with tin foil in the beginning so that the crust didn't burn and removed later.



Since these pot pies are personable you can make it as healthy as you want. They are certainly healthier than the frozen pot pies in the store! I also found it to be really delicious, and the crust was very good too. The top was crunchy and the inside was just like I remember those frozen pot pies to be, all soft and gooey with the creamy insides.
