Pour Over Pot Pie Crust & Casserole Recipe
I use this Pour Over Pot Pie Crust weekly, it’s a family favorite. What a perfect way to take leftovers and make a new meal from yesterday’s dinner.
I love to make a chicken or roast early in the week, take all the leftovers, and turn it into this delicious Pot Pie Casserole.
Can I freeze this pot pie casserole?
Yes, you can. Pull out of the freezer the night before to defrost in the fridge overnight and bake according to the directions. I freeze the casserole with the topping raw and not cooked, it goes in just like the directions state in the recipe 375F for 45-50min or until golden brown.

* Sidenote, I didn't follow the directions for this recipe on the video. I make this variation too, but I often make it with what I have for big batches and find it easier. This is what I do: saute up a bunch of onion and celery, boil or steam potatoes and carrots, add a bag of frozen peas, chopped chicken, and a couple of cups of homemade gravy stir together and spread out in a large pan 15 x 10 and add the pot pie crust recipe which I double for each of my large pans so if I make two large pans I will 4x the crust recipe. Mostly because I love a good thick crust.

I use chicken, turkey, ground and cubed beef, ground sausage, and leftovers like meatloaf roughly chopped up. You can also add eggs, potatoes, sausage, or bacon and make it into a delicious breakfast pot pie casserole.
