What else could I do with pot pie filling?

[melissel]

I made this AMAZING pot pie filling last week, but I'd love to find ways to use it other than putting a high-fat crust over it. What else could I do with it? I'm thinking I can put it over rice, but what else? I'm so uncreative!

 

TIA!

Or serve it over steamed vegetables?

[BikeBookBread]

Over steamed rice or egg noodles?

I think it would be good over mashed potatoes. . .

[bookfiend]

Put not-so-high-fat corn bread dumplingish mix over the top?

[stansclan89]

Biscuits on top and baked, or serve over bread.

Would you be willing to share the recipe for the amazing pot pie filling that you made (always in search of new things that the kids might be willing to try WITHOUT a fight)?

How about making "fake" mashed potatoes? I was looking for a substitute for mashed potatoes, which we adore but need to cut carbs, and I discovered that one can make fake mashed potatoes from steamed cauliflower - still add all the extras like butter, garlic, etc. and get a low carb alternative.

 

I often make shepherd's pie and put mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower) on top. Bake in the oven with some grated cheese on top.

Can you "soup" it? :D

[Tammyla]

Bake it under mashed potatoes

 

Bake under cornbread

 

Make tiny pot pies in a muffin tin with just a tiny biscut drop on top

In croissants .. and then bake... (The Pillsbury kind) Wave a wand over it so the fat is reduced :)

Ya, but have you tried that yet. We did once. :ack2:

My first thought would be noodles.

 

I really like the Reece frozen egg noodles. They're thick, and hearty, and delicious, and they don't get all mushy.

 

But, I like regular egg noodles, too. Comfort food!

If the pot pie filling does not already have alot of potato I would consider baking some potatos and using a generous portion as a topping over each potato.

I make generous use of my wand during winter.

My stepdad's family always served the potpie filling on top of egg noodles. they called it slippery pot pie.

[unsinkable]

What about over waffles?

 

Or pot pie pizza? :001_smile:

I use a potato-based crust instead of the traditional crust. You can add salt, onion powder, or garlic powder if you like; the original recipe was for an apple pie and had sugar, so I just do whatever I feel like that day.

 

1 pound potatoes, peeled

2 T butter

About 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for surfaces

Salt, onion powder, and/or garlic powder to taste

 

Dice the potatoes and boil till soft, drain. Mash with the butter then add the rest of the ingredients and knead till smooth, adding flour as needed. Divide into two parts. Roll out one for the bottom crust and lay in a greased 8- or 9-inch pie plate. Fill and top with the other section. Bake at 400 for about 50 minutes till nicely browned.

We liked the flavor because I add sour cream, butter, and garlic. The only problem I had was with the texture. Actually all the fellas liked it :D. Maybe it was out of desperation, though, since we were doing low carb menus;)
