I am one of those freaks that doesn’t like pot pies or stew. Somehow chili doesn’t bother me. I think in part because I don’t care for peas and carrots together, and most every recipe includes those. I realize I am in the great minority. For those that enjoy them, I’m sure that’s a bit of Heaven!
Ah that’s the nice thing about pot pies you can put in whatever you want. I only did one big one in a rectangular glass dish. (Fed more people) When it was just the two of us I went pie plate size. I did a rolled out pie crust every year until later years, older and lazy, I made square ones using two puff pastry dough sheets. I would use turkey, mushrooms, onion, stuffing chunks, any veg leftover, gravy with maybe cream of mushroom soup if not enough gravy. With puff pastry you can put it together in about 10 minutes. Hubby looked forward to it every year more than the actual turkey meal.
