Pot pies are some of my favorite foods to cook. They’re versatile, taste good, and just plain goodness. Furthermore, they have an interesting history which includes live birds. But I, for one, am glad we don’t use live animals in pot pies anymore. Below you’ll find a beef pot recipe with pie crust. This is one you’ll want to plan about 3 hours for. However, it is well worth the wait. Additionally, you could just as easily make it ahead, refrigerate, and then bake it when ready.
