What's on your Menu

                        CHICKEN POT PIE CASSEROLE

Had leftovers from last nights dinner..... 

Since it snowed most of the day I thought I would make us a hearty Casserole.

Doesn't this look yummy.....

So here is my recipe.

cut up chicken leftovers about 4 cups.
1 celery stalk chopped
1/2 spanish onion chopped
1 whole carrot diced
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cup of milk (I use skim)
4 leftover potatoes chopped into cubes
frozen peas 2 cups
1 tsp salt and pepper
a dash of poultry seasoning
1 tbsp of butter
1/2 cup of flour

Saute your onion and celery and carrot in butter
then add your other ingredients.
add flour to a bit of milk to make a paste then add it to the mix.
simmer.
watch that it doesn't stick to the bottom of your pan.
Pour in to 2 1/2 quart dish


Now you are ready for the biscuit topping

2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp of Baking powder
2 tsp of sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of cream of tarter

blend then add 1/2 cup of butter
mix till crumbly
then add your 2/3 cup of milk.
Make sure it is sticky.

Roll out onto a floured board and knead .
then you are ready to roll out the pastry


I use these cutters

then layer them around the top of your mix.


I filled in spaces with leftover pastry.


Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
 serves 4 to 6 people



I guess you could use leftover turkey as well.

Enjoy!!             Hope you will try this recipe.

                                            As always thanks for stopping by.

  1. looks delish...I usually just use bisquick to make the topping...
    we are having chicken soaked in buttermilk...
    then rolled in panko crumbs...
    french fries, green beans...
    starting with a greek salad...
    enjoy your dinner..

    Cheers!

  2. Hello Linda,
    Oh, this sounds delicious! I have a recipe using leftover chicken or turkey and noodles but I would much rather the biscuit topping. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us. Hope you're off to a wonderful week. We haven't received any snow here on PE Island yet and I hope it holds off for a while yet!

    Blessings,
    Sandi
