Piecing Together National Great American Pot Pie Day

National Great American Pot Pie Day is on September 23rd, and it’s time to celebrate the much-loved dish. From classic chicken pot pies to unique veggie ones, everyone can find a variety of pot pies that appeal to their taste buds. But did you know there are so many types of pot pies out there? Let’s explore the different types of pot pies you can enjoy!

Chicken Pot Pies

The classic chicken pot pie is perhaps the most well-known type of pot pie. It usually features a delicious mix of vegetables like carrots, peas, and potatoes, cooked in a creamy sauce with chunks of cooked chicken. The filling is then covered with a flaky pastry crust making it ideal for a hearty meal. If you want something more filling, why not try adding some bacon or cheese to your filling?

Vegetarian Pot Pies

For those who don’t eat meat, vegetarian pot pies are a great alternative. You can make them using any type of vegetable – from asparagus and mushrooms to sweet potatoes and peppers – combined with flavorful herbs and spices like garlic and thyme. They are also incredibly versatile; you can switch up the vegetables depending on what’s in season, or try swapping out the pastry crust for puff pastry for something extra special!

Fish Pot Pies

Fish pot pies are perfect if you’re looking for something lighter than traditional chicken or beef pies. Popular fish used in these recipes include cod, haddock and salmon which provide plenty of flavor but won’t be overpowering. For an added kick of flavor why not add some parsley or dill? You could even serve your fish pie with a side salad or some roasted vegetables!

Beef Pot Pies

Beef pot pies offer all the comfort that comes with this dish without relying on poultry as its main ingredient. Slow-cooked beef is combined with hearty root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and turnips before being covered in flaky puff pastry – making this dish ideal for cold winter days when you need something warm and comforting!

As National Great American Pot Pie Day approaches, it’s time to explore some different types of this beloved dish! Whether you love classic chicken pot pies or want to try something new like fish or beef ones – there’s something for everyone to enjoy. So be sure to take part in the celebrations by baking up one (or two!) of these tasty treats! Enjoy!
