Leftover Pot Roast Pot Pie with a Feta Crust

By Mavis Butterfield on January 20, 2016 · 6 Comments

There is nothing better than a homemade pot pie during the winter months.

Especially when there are leftovers like chicken or pot roast to use up. If it were up to my husband, we’d probably eat pot pies once a week around here {and in during the colder months, sometimes we do.}

Comfort food. It rocks! And it fills your belly. What more could you ask for?

Leftover Pot Roast Pot Pie with a Feta Crust

Print Recipe
  • Author: Mavis Butterfield

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients for the pot pie

2 cups roasted corn with bacon
2 cups leftover pot roast, cubed
1 cup frozen peas
1 large carrot, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
5 new potatoes, cubed
2 cups beef gravy
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed

For the crust

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup feta cheese {I used mediterranean seasoned feta}
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375 F degrees.

Combine pie crust ingredients together, roll into a ball, use the palm of your hand to flatten crust to about 1 inch. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Saute the carrots, onions and potatoes in olive oil until softened.

In a large mixing bowl combine the remaining filling ingredients along with the sauted vegetables and toss with gravy.

Pour filling into coated pie plate {I use about 1 teaspoon olive oil} and add rolled out pie crust over the top. Crimp edges of pie crust around the top of the pie plate.

Place on a lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until juices are bubbling and the crust has a nice golden color to it.

      Red french fingerling. They are delicious. Seed Savers has them online if you cannot find them in your local nursery.

    Did you use a flavored feta cheese? I am just wondering what the red spots on the crust are. I am not a huge fan of feta, but there isn’t very much in the recipe. Does it taste really feta-y? I like to try different stuff so the kids try more flavors, but I also don’t want to waste the money if we won’t eat it…

      Yes! I used mediterranean seasoned feta. It gave the pie crust a little extra kick.

Pull up a chair, grab some tea and join me as I dig for dinner in my Maine kitchen garden.
