Pot pies
I love pot pies. Just made one yesterday. Unfortunately I do not like
buying the expensive pie shells. Making my own crust is beyond my capabilities. My probably futile question: Is there any way to make a faux pot pie? A casserole with all the ingredients except the pie crust, but with the addition of comething to give at least a small hint of pie crust taste? Probably hopeless but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. TIA -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

Stew your meat until tender (chicken is faster than beef), thicken the stewing liquid and then add frozen vegetables. Look for the bag that has all the vegetables, green beans, corn, peas, carrots, onion. I forget what's in it. Mix it all up, put it in your baking dish/casserole, top it with (thawed) frozen pie crust - the kind that comes in a handy aluminum pie pan, which you can also use as your baking vessel if you're not cooking for the apocalypse. Stab it a couple of times to create escape hatches for steam and you're done. Be sure to bake it on a cookie sheet to catch any drips. You're only cooking the crust, so take it out of the oven when the crust is browned to your liking. I'm guessing 30 minutes will do it, but timing depends on volume and heat. -- sf |

No, it's not: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...st-recipe.html This recipe works! The key is the resting/chilling period of 20 mins. Use it, then modify per your situation. The key to a good crust is this: Cut the butter/shortening very coarse. Corn kernel size or bigger. Then, do not chill too long. A too cold dough will split at the edges, when rolling. A too warm dough will melt while rolling. Ony experience will make you a practiced crust maker. It's worth the effort. ;) Good luck nb |

Add only enough water for all the dry ingredients to come together. IOW, the recommended 1/4 C is only a starting point. When the dough picks up all the flour in the bowl, add no more water. If you add all of 1/4 C and still have flour in the bowl, DO add more water. But, only enough to get the rest of the flour to join the ball of dough. nb |

Mix your pie crust a little on the damp side and then place snmall dollops on top and bake.

I'll try anything twice (I assume the first time hurts with anything good). I thought of you when I opened the OCWeekly (Orange County, CA) today. I've eaten at a number of these, but certainly not all. The idea of variety in Mexican food in general, narrowed down to variety, specifically, just in tacos: http://tinyurl.com/paw7fm2 |

They served baked mahimahi in cream sauce and a deconstructed beef pie. The beef filling part was glooped on the plate and a small square of puff pastry was placed on top. I told the server to give me only one square instead of two. That was a mistake on my part because the puff pastry was quite pleasant. Next time, I'll get two squares, three if I'm feeling ornery. ;) |

Just for the record, though the need to insult others (or their wives!) doesn't really need a point of departure, the wife did not say anything remotely like that. But she does point out how much fat, salt and calories are in the foods I gravitate towards, and does this for health reasons. |

I occasionally buy the Pillsbury ones or some frozen kind. Unless I get organic ones, I don't think they are expensive. What I used to do sometimes was use either canned biscuits or homemade biscuit dough on top of a chicken/vegetable/gravy mix. Not quite the same. But if you are more concerned with the taste and not the looks of it, you could cobble together a real crust or even use a crust mix then just cover the top with little pieces of it. In other words, instead of trying to roll out the whole crust, just make little balls, pat them out and cobble them across the top. |

Can't remember the last time that I had one. Hmmm... May have to make one this winter. They'll eat it whether they like it or not! Hehehe. |

Every now and then one of my posts doesn't stay on the server, but I see replies so I know it was generated. I always figured it was astraweb's fault somehow... but you're not on astraweb, so I don't know what happened this time. -- sf |

I make tortillas for my husband (he loves them) but I don't like them I suppose a lot of filling would overpower the tortilla though ... anyway, I couldn't have one .. I am low-carbing at present:)) I will show him your post. He usually rolls them up with meat or breakfast stuff or salad. Who knows, he might like me to make some of those. If he does, expect me back for advice:)) Thanks:)) -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |
