When I was at the market the other day I mistakenly bought 2 pounds of sirloin steak instead of 1 pound.  After making soup with half of it I was stuck wondering what I could make with the other half.  I didn’t want to make another soup and we just had stir fry so that was out too.  I rummaged around in my purple folder filled with clipped magazine recipes and came up with beef and mushroom potpie.  Turns out I had half a container of mushrooms that needed cooked as well so this killed two birds with one stone.

Beef and Mushroom Pot Pies are one of my favorite comfort foods

Now I’m not a huge potpie person.  I think they are very filling and often the vegetables are very mushy inside which isn’t too appealing.  I also despise peas which come in just about every potpie I’ve ever eaten.  When I mentioned to Frank that’s what I was making he smiled and commented that he was just thinking about potpies;  it must have been fate.

The pot pie has a lot of vegetables in it which I really liked.  I thought the gravy was well seasoned and had a great flavor as well.  The vegetables were tender but not mushy.  The top is made out of crescent rolls instead of a pie crust which I loved.  The flaky topping was delicious.  The entire combination made for great comfort food on a cold, rainy night.

  1. Here from the hop and glad I found you. I have to admit I’m not much of a pot pie person either but this one looks delish. I do want to try it as it’s not involved or difficult and the ingredients are all ones I have in the house. Perfect for a busy day when I don’t know what to make. Thanks.
