I forgot how much I love pot pies. I used to have them all the time when I was growing up. There is something special about your own individual pie that you can eat any way you wish.

Doug was gone one weekend for business and I stopped by the grocery store after work and picked up a chicken pot pie. Yes, I know, I don’t always cook every night.

Anyway, as I was indulging on my pot pie, I thought to myself- I can do this at home- by myself- for less money. There are some many combinations of pot pies you could make. Each would have some of the basic ingredients like cream of chicken soup to act as a binder and to make it creamy and a pie crust or biscuits for the top. Here are a few pot pie ideas I thought of.

1. Chicken pot pie with cream of potato soup and mushrooms
2. Turkey pot pie with sweet potatoes, corn, and green beans
3. Shrimp pot pie with wild rice and mixed vegetables
4. Creamy garlic chicken pot pie with green beans, carrots, and peas
5. Beef pot pie with carrots, peas, and potatoes

So pick your favorite- experiment- and have fun creating your own pot pie recipes!
