In a large pot, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir constantly until it caramelizes into a deep amber color.

Remove the oxtail from the marinade, reserving the liquid, and sear in batches until browned on all sides. Set aside.

Deglaze the pot with the reserved marinade, then return the seared oxtail to the pot. Add enough water to barely cover the meat.

Simmer on low for 2-3 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender. Remove from the pot, shred the meat, and discard the bones.

Skim off excess oil from the gravy, then stir in ketchup and reduce until thickened. Return the shredded oxtail to the pot, mix well, and set aside.

Make the Mac & Cheese

In a pot over medium heat, melt butter. Once bubbling slightly, whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Slowly pour in the half-and-half, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid boiling to prevent separation.

Season with garlic, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat and stir in the cheeses until fully melted.

Fold in the cooked macaroni and set aside.

Assemble & Bake

Spoon a layer of shredded oxtail and gravy into the base of each ramekin.

Sprinkle with shredded cheddar, then top with mac and cheese.

Finish with another layer of cheddar and place ramekins on a baking sheet.

Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating Tips

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or microwave in short intervals.
• Freeze: Assemble the pot pies in ramekins and freeze before baking. When ready to eat, bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

• Classic Comfort Food: This recipe blends two timeless dishes—pot roast and pot pie—for the ultimate cozy meal.
• Cheesy Biscuit Topping: The cheddar-studded biscuits with a hint of garlic butter take this dish over the top.
• Meal Prep Magic: Make the filling ahead of time for an easy, stress-free dinner when you’re short on time.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe calls for a mix of classic pot roast ingredients, a cheesy biscuit topping, and a garlic butter finish. You’ll need:

• Beef chuck roast, hearty vegetables, and pantry staples for the filling.
• A box of cheddar bay biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and milk for the topping.
• Garlic, butter, and parsley for that finishing touch of flavor.

How to Make Pot Roast Pot Pie

Pot Roast Filling

Season and sear the beef until golden brown, then set it aside. Sauté onions, stir in tomato paste, and let it cook until it releases its rich oils. Add flour and cook briefly, then deglaze with red wine, letting the alcohol simmer off. Combine the beef, stock, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic, then simmer until tender. Add carrots and potatoes, cooking until they’re soft. Finish with parsley and adjust the seasoning to taste.

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

Mix the dry biscuit mix with shredded cheddar and milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing for the best texture.

Garlic Butter

Whisk together softened butter, garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Set aside for brushing over the biscuit topping.

Assemble

Preheat the oven. Divide the filling between individual ramekins or a large baking dish, then top with the biscuit dough. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. As soon as they’re out of the oven, brush with garlic butter.

Storage and Reheating

These pot pies store beautifully, making them a great make-ahead meal.

• Refrigerator: Let the pot pies cool completely, then cover tightly and store in the fridge for up to three days.
• Freezer: Wrap each ramekin individually or cover your baking dish tightly with foil. Freeze for up to two months.

To reheat:

• From the Fridge: Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven until warmed through, uncovering for the last few minutes to crisp up the biscuit topping.
• From Frozen: Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat as above. For a quicker option, bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Tips for Success

• Don’t rush the searing process—browning the beef adds layers of flavor to your filling.
• Mix the biscuit dough gently for the perfect light and fluffy texture.
• Use a baking tray under the ramekins to catch any potential spills during baking.

Enjoy the warmth and comfort of this hearty Pot Roast Pot Pie—it’s the dish you’ll want to make on repeat all season long!

• Add a nice layer of eggs to the bottom of each ramekin. Followed by the sautéed veggies, shredded cheddar and the sausage gravy.
• Top with the prepared biscuit dough. Spread out evenly and place each ramekin on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the biscuit topping is cooked through and golden brown, about 18-20 minutes.
• As soon as they come out of the oven, brush on the honey butter and serve. Enjoy!
