Leftover Roast Pot Pie
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups of leftover roast meat, diced
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
– 2 stalks of celery, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup of peas
– 1/4 cup of butter
– 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
– 2 cups of beef or vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup of milk or cream
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the beef or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to thicken for about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the milk or cream and peas, then add the diced leftover roast meat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Transfer the filling into a baking dish or individual ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
7. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut it into pieces that will cover your baking dishes. Place the pastry pieces on top of the filling, pressing gently to adhere to the edges of the dishes.
8. Make a few slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking. If desired, you can brush the pastry with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake the pot pies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
And there you have it! A deliciously comforting Leftover Roast Pot Pie ready to be enjoyed. Serve hot and savor the flavors of your roast meat in a whole new way. This recipe is perfect for using up leftovers and turning them into a cozy meal that’s sure to warm both your heart and your belly. Enjoy every savory bite of this hearty dish!
