Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked meat (chicken, turkey, beef, or ham)
- 1.5 cups chopped cooked vegetables (carrots, peas, broccoli, etc.)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon optional herbs or spices (e.g., thyme, paprika, or garlic powder)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish.
In the prepared dish, layer the shredded cooked meat and chopped vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat and vegetables.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter evenly over the filling in the dish, ensuring it covers the ingredients well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To test doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
For OAMC (Once-A-Month-Cooking) preparation, allow the pie to cool completely after baking. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil, then label and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat a frozen pie, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
