Left-Over Pot Pie

Have leftover steak, chicken, stewing beef or roast? Toss it into a pie!

This is one of my favorite ways to use leftovers. I had a fridge full that I thought I might have to throw out - steak, baked potatoes, corn, carrots, peas ... then I realized I had the makings for this:

Hmm. It's not very photogenic, but it sure tastes GREAT!

2 cups        diced, cooked meat (chicken, beef or pork)

1/2 cup       cooked peas

1/2 cup       cooked, diced carrots

1/2 cup       cooked, diced potatoes

1/4 cup       margarine or butter

1/4 cup       chopped onion

1/4 cup       flour

1-1/2 cup    chicken broth

1/2 cup       milk

1/4 tsp        salt

1/4 tsp        pepper

1 tsp           thyme (I omit this one)

       pie crust

• Combine cooked meat and veggies. Set aside
• Sauté onion in margarine until clear. Whisk in flour.
• Whisk in milk and broth - slowly. Bring to a boil
• Reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
• Pour over meat and veggie mixture. Stir. 
• If preparing for freezer, cool completely.
• Line pie plate with pie crust, pour in filling. Top with crust, crimp edges.
• Bake at 375F for 1 hour.

Enjoy!
