Super cheap & easy.
Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie
As many cans of Cream of Chicken Soup as you want to fill up whatever size pan you want to make it in.
Add leftover cut up chicken/turkey.
Optional: As many cans of Veg-All or frozen vegetables as you think it needs.
Frozen green peas.
Add minced onion flakes � to taste.
Add rosemary � crushed up � to taste.
Mix together and either put in a baking pan or keep in the fridge overnight.
Spread it in a baking pan � I use the rectangular ones.
You can then use frozen biscuits/canned biscuits or mix up biscuits.
If you use the frozen/canned � just place them around on top and bake it in the oven until the biscuits get done.
If you mix up biscuits, just spread the dough out on top of it and bake it that way. These are the Southern USA biscuits - not sweet - I will add an easy recipe at the end of this recipe. You can also use puff pastry from your frozen food section at the supermarket.
(You can even heat this stuff in a saucepan and then put it in a casserole dish and put leftover biscuits on top of it.)
Light & Fluffy Biscuits
1-1/2 Cups Self Rising Flour
Stir in 8 Ounces Whipping Cream (Not Heavy Cream)
just until the flour gets wet.
Just dump it out on some flour and pat them out and cut them out.
Bake 400 - 450 until brown.
