help w/ a beef pot pie idea

[sahm2boys]

i have 3 cans of the dinty moore beef stew and thought it would be perfect for a pot pie

how would you make this?
make a pie crust for top and bottom? just the top? biscuits on top?
what recipe would you use to make the pie part?
would you add anything to the beef stew mix?

thanks

I usually just put my filling in a pyrex dish and put the crust on top. I use canned biscuits, a plain homemade pie crust recipe or unroll a tube of canned crescent rolls and lay over.

Perfect dish for a cold day!!

cani have your home made pie crust recipe please?

[JenMarie]

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
4-5 Tablespoons cold water

stir flour and salt together
cut in shortening
add water 1T at a time, stir with a fork- just stir enough to mix it, if you stir it too much the dough will be tough.
Do this until all the dough is moist and you can form the dough into a ball.
Roll it onto a lightly floured surface.

I second the idea of using biscuit or canned crescent rolls over the top.

For pie crust I use the one on the can of Crisco.

I would double this, put half on top and half on bottom. We use double crust because my dh says it's the best part.
