Today I am sharing one of my boys’ all time favorite meals – Pot Pie Cups.
I often make this with whatever protein leftover that I have…chicken, turkey or pork. It really tastes great no matter which you choose. Now the original recipe is from Pillsbury but I have to admit that I am a little partial to my version. If you are in a pinch you can absolutely use a can of soup…but, with a few extra ingredients you have fantastic mini pot pies that your family will devour.
I basically use my pot pie recipe and just use biscuits as the crust. I am sharing the recipe size that I usually make. It will make 16 pot pie cups. We only eat half for a meal, so I freeze the others for quick and easy lunches or another dinner for a busy night. You can half the recipe if you only want enough for one meal. I figure while I am cooking I’ll knock out a meal or two while I am at it.
Be sure and check out the other recipes I’ve shared so far for the Publix Menu Plan (Week Of 3/27 – 4/3):
- 3/4 – 1 pound of cooked pork, cubed (you can also use chicken or turkey)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2/3 cup milk
- 14.5 oz chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon tarragon
- 1 cup frozen peas & carrots
- 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit dough
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- I started by salting my pork and broiling until cooked through.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter then add the onions and cook until softened and translucent.
- Add flour to butter and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk in the chicken broth and milk.
- Continue to stir until the sauce boils and starts to thicken.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, pork, tarragon, peas and carrots.
- Simmer for for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.[url href=”https://www.iheartpublix.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dough-1.jpg”][img src=”https://www.iheartpublix.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dough-1.jpg” alt=”” width=”400″ height=”300″ class=”aligncenter size-full wp-image-183420″][/url]
- Flatten biscuits and press into a muffin tin allowing the dough to overlap the sides.
- Scoop about 1/3 cup of filling into the prepared dough.
- Pull the dough over the filling pinching slightly to hold in place.
- Repeat with the remaining biscuits.
- Bake at 375º F for 25 minutes until dough is golden brown.

I have a tub of Lloyds bbq pork in the freezer I may thraw it can do a bbq version and add cheese. Kind of different but a way to get a few things out of the freezer.

I was thinking of trying this with canned pork and a cheese sauce with mixed veggies
Your recipe doesn’t say when to add the pork
Also you say to preheat the oven to 350 but then bake at 375. Please edit before publishing a confusing incomplete recipe.
