That, combined with the amount of time it took made it not worth it at this stage of my life (I have 3 kiddos who keep me busy :) ). Good job on those leftovers! I always love it when I can transform last night's meal into something new. :)Kimikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283040701298453576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-3965053918491906072016-09-10T20:02:45.288-07:002016-09-10T20:02:45.288-07:00Used this as a topping for brownies!

I am also big on using leftovers to transform food into a different meal. I'm using spaghetti sauce to make chili tonight and a few days ago used meatloaf to make a Hamburger Helper meal (busy day!

Maybe if you cut your dough thinner & longer, rather than square or rectangular? That would give them more of a "NOODLE" appearance, such as in canned soups or bagged noodles.

Pot Pie is probably my all-time favorite dish from my childhood. My family's preference, though, was to make it with ham rather than chicken. If you haven't tried it with ham, I highly recommend it! We always had a baked ham (glazed with a mustard/brown sugar sauce) at Christmas and Easter, and occasionally at other times as well. Pot pie generally came three or four days after we had the ham for whatever occasion . . . you know, after most of the ham has been used, and the day AFTER we had ham & green beans, when you were down to mostly the bone, some fat and gristle, and a few scraps of actual ham that remained attached to the bone. But that's all you need to create a terrific stock to use as the liquid in the pot pie!Mark P.

He made the potpie, kept everything separate and then put it all in a huge cast iron frying pan. Pie dough, layer of chicken, layer of potatoes, layer of pot pie drained. and kept layering it till it was at least an inch above the pan. Put a huge pie crust on top, cut slits in to let out steam. Baked it till crust nice and brown. Used the juice that was left over to spoon over the slices on your plate. the best ever meal and my favorite.
