Skillet Pot Pie

I love a pot pie, actually even better than that I love a cast iron skillet pot pie, it’s a one pan meal, less mess & easy clean up. It’s perfect for those cold nights, a perfect comfort meal that warms you up from the inside out.

I made this after Thanksgiving to use up leftover turkey, so with Christmas just 1 day away I’m sure there will be lots of leftover turkey & possibly even chicken & we all need ideas on what to do with all of it. Well here is your answer grab some leftover veggies & meat & throw it in a skillet. I also short cut the pie crust process & buy a Pillsbury pie crust they taste great & it makes this dish 5x quicker.


Mix all those glorious ingredients together, throw a crust on top & stick it in the oven.

What you get is this beautiful golden deliciousness.. serve it up & enjoy!
