On a lighter note, I've been messing around with my crock pot figuring out recipes that are easy and scrummdiddlyyum. I figured out a way to make a pot pie out of the crock pot. It is SOOOO GOOOD!
Turkey-in-the-crock Pot Pie
Ingredients:
About 1.5 pounds of Cubed Turkey or Chicken
1 cup Flour
Salt, Pepper, rosemary, thyme, sage and 1 bay leaf
Olive Oil
Chopped veggies: I use an onion, 2 celery stalks, about 5 small yukon gold potatoes, about 12 baby carrots (you can throw in a can of corn and or peas at the end if you want, but do it after the gravy)
1 large can of chicken Stock or broth
2-3 Packets of Chicken Gravy
1 pack of frozen fillo dough or puff pastry shells.
1. In a large ziploc throw in the flour some salt, pepper, (I use Nature's Seasons which is a seasoning blend.)
2. Shake up the cubed chicken in the flour to coat it well, then brown it in about 2 table spoons of olive oil in a skillet.
3. In the crock pot, throw in the chicken stock, add a pinch each of sage, rosemary, thyme, and 1 bay leaf (really only use a pinch each or the herbs get out of control.) Stir to mix in seasonings. Then add the chopped veggies, put the browned meat on top, 4. Cook for 4 hours on high or 6-8 on low. Cook until potatoes are soft. Stir rarely!
5. Preheat your oven to get it ready for the dough, then mix 2-3 gravy packets in 1 cup of water--the ratio is off on purpose. In a sauce pan, thicken the gravy.
6. Stir gravy into into the crock pot mixture. Turn crock on high heat to mix the stock with the gravy. You can add your corn and peas at this time if you want to.
7. While it is on high, take your thawed fillo dough and cut into 9 squares or your pastry shells. Bake in oven as directed.
To serve, in a bowl put a square of fillo pastry and cover with a ladel full of the "pot pie" mixture from the crock. Sprinkle parsley on top for added flair.... and
OH
MY
YUMMINESS!
