Quail Skillet Pot Pie with Biscuits

With cooler temps finally in our forecast, it’s finally time for some comfort food! This dish is one of the ultimate comfort foods, and my favorite part has to be the flaky, garlicky biscuits. Delish! That crunch on top of the biscuits is A++, trust me.

This recipe is easy enough to whip up for a weeknight meal or a perfect addition to your cozy fall weekend!
I love it when I’m able to use homegrown veggies from my garden. Currently, our carrots and onions are coming in clutch and make the perfect pairing with the quail that we harvested last Winter.

Not only do I love how this recipe tastes, but I love how I was able to use so many items that we harvested on our own. It brings a whole other level of accomplishment and pride when you know where your food comes from. If you don’t have a garden to pull your veggies from, that’s totally fine – good ole’ storebought will do! Additionally, not everyone has access to quail, in which case you can substitute turkey or chicken.

Enjoy!!!
