#Crockpot Pot Pie #Recipe!



Hey Everyone!! :-)

I've got another easy, crockpot recipe for all those other lazy cooks out there. Enjoy! :-)

Ingredients:
6 potatoes washed and cubed
3 carrots peeled and chopped
1 bag frozen peas
1 large onion finely chopped
1 12 oz package sliced button mushrooms
1 12 oz package sliced baby bellas
1 zucchini chopped
1 eggplant chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
1 head of broccoli chopped or 1 bag of frozen chopped broccoli
1 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
6 cloves of garlic minced fine
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp sage
2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Put all the ingredients except the broccoli, cream, and biscuit dough in a crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours. Remove the bay leaves, add the broccoli and cream, and stir the contents. Cook for another hour or so. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If the sauce is too thin, you can make a slurry with cornstarch (about a tablespoon) and cold water and add it to the crockpot to thicken up your gravy. Remove the biscuit dough from the can (you know them, they're the kind that pops when you open them) and separate the individual biscuits. Remove the cover of the crockpot and place the biscuits on top of the vegetables in an even layer. Put the whole crock (the ceramic part that sits in the metal part only, not the metal part with the controls) in the oven without the cover and bake according to the directions on the biscuit package.

As always, I prefer my pot pie without meat, but you can add any meat you like. Just please make sure the meat is cooked before you add it to the crockpot because food poisoning sucks. Also, you can, of course, remove or add any vegetables you like. This recipe is more about a process than about a specific ingredient list. Likewise, you can adjust the seasonings however you like to suit your taste.

Bon appetit! :-)
