Anything in a pie crust should be sweet
Couldn't disagree more. I do agree that a savory pie should not have the same pie crust as a sweet pie. A savory pie should (at least for the bottom crust) use butter for the fat so it is a bit denser and can stand up to the filling. A sweet pie IMO should utilize lard for the fat so the crust is lighter and flakier when using a traditional crust.

ive made some like this with puff pastry on top. they're the bomb dot com



I'll often use leftover meat from my fried turkeys to make the filling for pot pies. The trick is to not make it with a thin sauce or it doesn't work near as well.

The vegetables, meat and sauce have to be pretty thick so the shell cooks good, especially the bottom shell if making a traditional type pie.

I have use puff pastry just to top the oven ready bowl and made them like that and they are a good, quick alternative as opposed to making pie dough, rolling it out and putting it all together.

I’ve used leftover pot roast and gravy for beef pot pies. My regular roast gravy is not thick enough, so I thicken it with cornstarch. I include cooked diced carrots, potatoes, and green peas . I prefer pot pies with both a top and bottom crust, but I cheat with store bought pie crusts. So good!

I made this French Inspired Chicken Pot Pie for one of the challenges. It was delicious! Your post reminded me I should make it again. I loved that it had tarragon. Really upped the flavor.

I use leftover ham and make a broth with the ham bone to make a ham and egg pie. Pretty similar to chicken pot pie but it has ham and egg as the protein and doesn't have the veggies of a chicken pot pie

Mom makes chicken pot pie filling and then serves it over toasted biscuits split in half. Easier than a true pot pie.
