SEMI HOMEMADE POT PIE (TWO WAYS)

February 20, 2020 by Sarah Baade 1 Comment

Comfort Food

Let’s talk comfort food. When I think about some of my favorite comfort foods, the recipes are often quite lengthy. These are perfect for special occasions, holiday meals, celebration meals of one sort or another. They are worth the effort when you have the time but a lot of us don’t have an extra few hours to spend on a single dish. But what do you do when you want, no, NEED comfort food but don’t have the time or energy for one of those special, hours to prepare dishes? I’ve got you covered with these semi homemade pot pie recipes. I’m just going to throw it out there that this is also a perfect dish to take to someone who needs a meal. Perhaps someone just had a baby, or just had surgery, or is just going through a difficult time in life. Cook this up and take it to them! These comfort food recipes are practically a hug you serve up in a pie dish.

Two Versions

I’ve been making the original version of this chicken pot pie for about 15 years and, to be forthcoming, it is not my recipe. The OG version comes from a collaborative recipe book put together by employees from some random company. In other words, I don’t know the exact source but wish I did so that I could give the person full credit on this one. However, I have updated it to literally double the filling. This means, you can feed more people without having to make a second pie. When I started eating a more plant based diet, I also created a vegetarian version of this pot pie. Both versions are semi homemade which means you can put them together in about five minutes and then relax while they bake into sheer comfort food. I guarantee you’re going to want second helpings on this one. Oh, and if you happen to have leftovers, this also tastes fantastic reheated.

HAZELNUT ICEBOX PIE

Hazelnut Icebox Pie - Slice Of Honey Blog

Lately it seems like I’ve been living in the glorification of busy. I’ve been chasing all sort of new goals. Isn’t that what New Year’s is about? I’ve been reducing and reorganizing the clutter in our house (hello #konmari). I’ve been doubling my workouts which is totally cliché this time of year but there are worse things to strive for in life, right?! I’ve been placing an emphasis on family through dating my husband (sometimes stay at home dates) and playing/reading with our daughter. When you add more to an already full schedule, something else typically suffers. For me, creativity has been a huge struggle this month. Typically, I come up with several recipe ideas each month, some make the cut for this blog and some don’t. However, we are always eating well and trying new dishes around our house. That was, until this month. We all have ruts and I am no exception but I’m happy to say the creativity is coming back and recipe ideas have started flooding in again.

These new routines and activities does not mean creativity needs to laid to rest. Quite the opposite. Creativity can only add to the creation of recipes that are easy to make as well as delicious. When my husband and I do date nights in at home we always include dinner and dessert in our plans. In need of something exceptionally easy to make, I came up with this recipe. This pie is the precisely what the doctor ordered to cure our cravings. Get your sweet tooth ready, you’ll need it if you’re going to hang with this one!

Tips:

  • You can elevate this recipe a bit by making a homemade graham cracker crust if you want to. Recipe included after the pie recipe.
  • I used half of a container of whipped topping in this pie. Feel free to use the rest for garnish when you serve the pie.
