Pot Pie

I have made pot pies several times and I usually follow these guildelines:

  1. Use the crust recipe from this post
  2. A 9″ pie pan can hold about 6 cups.
    1. 2 cups of meat (chicken, etc.)
    2. 2 cups of gravy (thick chicken gravy, etc.)
    3. 2 cups of vegetables (I use frozen carrots, peas, etc.)
  3. The gravy can be a basic beschamel with extra flour
    1. 1 part fat (butter with a little bit of oil added)
    2. Sauteed onion in the butter
    3. Sauteed mushrooms (optional)
    4. 3 parts GP flour
    5. 11 parts chicken broth
    6. 5 parts milk
  4. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes then let cool for 15 minuts before serving.
