The Best Cheeseburger Pot Pie

This Cheeseburger Pot Pie sure is a fun twist on a traditional cheeseburger and a Pot Pie. Besides, who doesn’t truly love a puff pastry or pie crust cooked to perfection.  Personally, I think combining these two recipes is Genius.  But don’t just take my word for it.  Originally, I saw this idea posted on Instagram and I decided that I needed to try it for my self and I suggest that you do the same.

Make a Crispy Cheeseburger Pot Pie

As you’ve probably already guessed, the only difference between a regular burger and this Cheeseburger Pot Pie is that it isn’t made with a bun, it is baked with a Pastry.  So, you should treat it as such.

The one thing I learned, after I filmed the video, was that I should have baked the bottom crust first, for approximately 10 minutes, before I added the other ingredients and baked them altogether, as instructed.  This ensures that the entire pot pie turns out crispy and it makes a much more pleasant experience eating it like a hamburger.

Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie

Southwestern Chicken Pot PieSouthwestern Chicken Pot Pie White Lie!

I thought I was a genius when I first came up with the Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie, but as it turns out, I didn’t come up with it.  Here I was, making Southwestern Egg Rolls for the family and toying with the notion of filming them, which I didn’t,  then later that evening, I was scrolling through Pinterest when I saw a picture of a traditional Chicken Pot Pie made with Grands Flaky Layer Biscuits.  Needless to say, that’s the exact moment lightning struck my brain.  Southwest BlendSouthwestern Chicken Pot Pie!  I even knew how I was going to make it.  But did I do any research before it was done?  The answer isn’t just no, it’s Hell No!  I was sure my idea was so ingenious that I was just going to pave the way to a new Frontier Pie.  Boy was I wrong.  The only real reassuring and comforting thing I can say after discovering other recipes for the same thing is that my recipe tasted great, and I didn’t consult with any book or anyone to make it, and it was exactly how I envisioned it!  So check out the video and the ingredients below and hopefully you’ll be convinced to try this for yourself next time you’re craving a homemade Pot Pie.

Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients:

1 bag Southwest Blend or 2 cups of assorted Black Beans, Corn, Onion and Peppers
3 chopped Boneless Chicken Thighs
2 Puff Pastry Sheets (Puff Pastry sheets should be thawed 40 Minutes in advance)
2 Cups Chicken Stock or Bouillon
1 thawed and strained Frozen Spinach
1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
1 tbsp Butter
3 tbsp Flour
2 shakes of Garlic Powder (1 for veggies and 1 for the chicken)
Chopped Cilantro and Parsley (optional)
Oil for frying
 

Combine all the vegetables first and season with Garlic Powder and 1/2 tsp of the Chili Powder.  Prepare and Cook the Chicken in 1/8 cup cooking oil and season with the rest of the dry seasonings, then combine the cooked chicken with the Southwest Blend.  Using the same skillet melt 1 tbsp butter, add 3 tbsp flour, stir to form a light Roux, then slowly add 2 cups of Chicken Stock to make a gravy, then poor the gravy into the Southwest Blend.  Now fit one Puff Pastry Sheet to a well greased pie tin and trim the edges.  Add the Southwest Blend to the pie until it reaches the Brim.  Fit the Second Puff Pastry Sheet over the top and press the edges firmly in a circular motion around the pie to combine the top and bottom crust.  Again, trim the edges, then oil the top or egg wash and cut 3 small slits in the center of the Pastry dough for baking ventilation.  Bake the Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown, and serve.
