3. Chicken pot pie! Yum!

Even the "lazy cheater" version I make is good.

I use 9" frozen pie crusts that I thaw then cut and shape into those little 5" aluminum pie pans (remember to use a light non-stick spray). I then pre-bake the crust (make sure to poke the bottom of the crust with a fork or the bottom will form a bubble).

For the filler, the basic ingredients are chopped cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, and frozen mixed vegetables (no need to thaw). You can add chopped celery, onions, mushrooms..... you name it. Herbs and seasonings to taste.

No top crust needed. IMHO.

Put on the plastic covers and freeze these after filling and pull them out as needed.

You don't put a crust topper on your pot pies? FarPoint Jan 2014 #29

Mushroom Barley "risotto", Roasted Beet Salad, Kale with dried cranberries livetohike Jan 2014 #9

Why do you put "risotto" in quotes? cbayer Jan 2014 #15

There's no rice in it - that's what the recipe called it though and I haven't made it in a long time livetohike Jan 2014 #21

If no rice, what then? cbayer Jan 2014 #23

Barley! Mushrooms, onions, garlic, rosemary, thyme, a smidgeon of soy sauce, a little wine and water livetohike Jan 2014 #24

Ah, Barley. That makes lots of sense... cbayer Jan 2014 #25
