Freezer Meal Recipe – Chicken Pot Pie

I’m still adding to my freezer meals and thought I’d share another.  A friend gave me this recipe when we had a freezer meal night at her house.  Everyone loved it even with all those veggies inside!  Serve with a great salad and you have a filling meal with little clean up!  Make sure to note  that the cook time fresh and frozen are different.  When I made it a second time I had to call my friend to be sure it was right.

Chicken Pot Pie {makes 2}

• 4 cups cooked chicken {or turkey}
• 4 cups hash brown potatoes
• 1 package mixed veggies
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can cream of onion soup
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 Tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 pie crusts

Combine all ingredients, except pie crusts, in a large bowl.  Divide between two (2) 9 inch pie plates.  Roll out 1 pre-made pie pastry to fit on top of each pie.

If baking immediately, cover and bake on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes removing foil during last 10 minutes to brown crust.

If freezing, cover with foil and place in a gallon size freezer bag.  To cook from frozen defrost overnight.  Cover edges with foil and place on baking sheet.  Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350.  Remove foil and bake 50-55 minutes longer  {I didn’t remove the foil until the last 10 minutes or so to keep the edges from burning}.
