Good idea--not necessarily health food


This isn't a recipe, and it's not exactly healthy, but it's really yummy!

Chicken Pot-Pie in a bowl! I used the stoneware bowls we got from Grampa Sam to cook chicken pot-pies in, and they turned out so delicious! I know it's healthier to go without the double crusts, but I would rather just have this dish half as often because when you cook them in stoneware the crust is so crispy and delicious it's not worth having any other way! Just use whatever recipe you like for the filling, sealing the top and bottom crusts together well and putting holes in the top for the steam to vent out. Cook it at 425 for 35 minutes on the bottom rack and voila! They just pop right out and aren't they beautiful!

Just a note, my recipe for crust (3c flour, 1 c shortening, 1 tsp salt, water) makes about 2 pies top and bottom in the large bowls pictured (about 5"-6" dia.), and one bowl is plenty for two people.

That looks delectable, Laura! Thanks for the awesome idea, although I will have to make more than you did (probably three times at least--my family eats A LOT). It's so fun to have your own pot pie to eat too!

What setting did you use for those pictures, Laura? Great pics!

I don't know, just Auto, with macro I think. Also, I don't know why I can't click on them and have them zoom in bigger, does anyone else have this problem?
