How to Make Pot Roast Pot Pie

Pot Roast Filling

pot roast pot pie

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!

Equipment

  • 8-6oz ramekins

Ingredients

Pot Roast Filling

  • 2-3 lbs chuck roast cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 cup beef stock
  • 1/2 cup potatoes chopped
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots chopped
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3-4 sprigs thyme
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2-3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper plus more to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • 1 box red lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix 11.36oz
  • 2 cups mild cheddar shredded
  • 3/4 cup milk

Garlic Butter

  • 1/2 stick butter softened
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • Parsley dried
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Pot Roast Filling

  • Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Heat a pan over medium heat and sear the beef on both sides until golden brown. Once all the pieces are seared, set them aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it deepens in color and releases its rich, golden oils.
  • Sprinkle in the flour, stirring continuously, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flavor.
  • Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  • Once the wine has reduced, stir in the beef stock, seared beef, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic. Combine everything well, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer until the beef is tender, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  • When the beef is fork-tender, add the chopped carrots and potatoes. Cover the pan and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
  • Finish by stirring in freshly chopped parsley, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • In a bowl, combine the dry biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk. Use a fork to mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to over-mix, you’re aiming for a slightly shaggy dough.

Garlic Butter

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients listed under “Garlic Butter” and set aside.

Assemble

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Transfer the pot roast filling into your chosen baking dish. For individual servings, divide the filling between six 6-ounce ramekins. Top each dish with the cheddar bay biscuit dough, spreading it evenly.
  • Place the baking dishes on a tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Once out of the oven, immediately brush the tops with garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy!

This is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content.

If you want to read, I might suggest a good book, perhaps Hemingway or Melville. That’s why they call it, the dummy copy. This, of course, is not the real copy for this entry. Rest assured, the words will expand the concept. With clarity. Conviction. And a little wit.

Ingredients

  • 2 slabs pork spare ribs (2 1/2 lbs each)
  • 1/4 cup of salt
  • 1/4 cup of black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups ketchup
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar

In today’s competitive market environment, the body copy of your entry must lead the reader through a series of disarmingly simple thoughts.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season ribs with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stack slabs on a double layer of aluminum foil; wrap tightly. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until meat is fork-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, make barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, cayenne, and desired variation (see ingredients above). Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Carefully remove ribs from foil, pouring off any accumulated liquid. Brush ribs generously with sauce; grill until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with extra sauce, if desired.

As a result of which, your entry will repay your efforts. Take your sales; simply put, they will rise. Likewise your credibility. There’s every chance your competitors will wish they’d placed this entry, not you. While your customers will have probably forgotten that your competitors even exist. Which brings us, by a somewhat circuitous route, to another small point, but one which we feel should be raised.
