Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pie Plate:
Start by lightly greasing a 9-inch pie plate. Spread the leftover beef, diced potatoes, and any leftover veggies (such as carrots, peas, or corn) evenly in the pie plate. Toss the mixture gently to ensure all ingredients are well distributed. -
Make the Soup Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup with the minced garlic, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the soup is seasoned. -
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture in the pie plate, making sure everything is coated in the sauce. The soup will create a flavorful, creamy filling once baked. -
Top with Pie Crust:
Carefully unroll your pie crust and place it over the filling. Pinch the edges of the crust to seal it around the pie plate. Using a sharp knife, make two small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape while baking. -
Bake the Pot Pie:
Place the pie in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and heated through. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the pot pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with a crisp green salad or your favorite side dish for a satisfying meal.
Recipe Tips:
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to get creative with the filling by adding leftover veggies like peas, carrots, or even corn. This is a great dish to clean out your fridge!
- Using Different Meats: While this recipe uses leftover beef, you can easily swap it for chicken, turkey, or any other leftover roast you have on hand.
- Crust Options: If you prefer a homemade pie crust, feel free to substitute it. A puff pastry crust is also a delicious option for an extra flaky finish.
Enjoy your quick and easy Leftover Beef & Tater Pot Pie! This dish is an excellent way to use up leftovers and turn them into something comforting and delicious for the whole family to enjoy.
