When coming up with cozy family meals, Ree Drummond is a big fan of pot pies. "Honestly, if there's anything better than pot pie, I haven't yet found what it is," she says. So it's no wonder that The Pioneer Woman has a few easy pot pie recipes up her sleeve. From her chicken pot pie, which she says you can make with leftover rotisserie chicken and store-bought pie dough, to a vegetarian pot pie made with beans, mushrooms, and frozen puff pastry, this list has all the pot pie recipes you need. In fact, any one of these comfort food favorites would make the perfect weeknight dinner come fall. Try the beef and herbed biscuit pot pie for a cowboy-inspired dinner or the buffalo chicken pot pie for a fun twist on game night.
If you really want to impress your crew, you can make your own pie crust from scratch, or stash some in the freezer for when the timing is right. Another easy solution to pot pie would be the Crock-Pot recipe ahead. It's just as creamy, hearty, and flavorful, but it takes a more hands-free approach to making pot pie. For other fun twists on pot pie recipes, read on for leftover turkey pot pie, roast beef pot pie, and even a breakfast pot pie that's made with sausage, potatoes, and topped with an egg! As Ree says, these pot pie recipes "will keep your whole family happy."
