HOLIDAY LEFTOVERS POT PIE

Steps:

• Line a deep dish pie plate (10") with pie pastry and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425°F Have ready a cookie sheet lined with foil (you will set this on the rack below your pot pie to catch any drips).
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; Whisk in the flour (it will look dry) until combined.
• Slowly add some of the chicken stock, whisking to blend well, then adding a bit more, repeating until all is added.
• Next whisk in the milk, also whisking in and blending well slowly.
• Cook, whisking occasionally until somewhat thickened,raising heat slightly if needed, approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Add the cooked meat, vegetables,salt, peppers, cooking about 3 minutes until heated through, stirring, test for seasonings, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
• Pour into the pie pastry lined pan.
• Now you have a choice on how to top this:.
• Choice #1: Roll out the second piece of pie pastry and top the pie, sealing edges, and use a knife to cut out a hole the size of a small coin in the center of the pastry, as well as five vent slits around the pastry.
• Choice #2: The original recipe suggested using a cookie cutter to cut out 12 leaf shapes out of the top crust and then placing the leaf shapes on top of the pie (instead of having a full top crust) -- up to you if you wish to make it look "fancy" or not.
• Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden and the filling has begun to bubble (if the crust is done, its finished).
• Let cool a bit before serving.
• This will be served scooped out with a spoon; don't expect to be able to cut this into neat, firm pieces; the filling is very saucy.
