pot pie

Savory filled pastry

A pot pie is a savory pie with a filling of meat and vegetables in gravy, typically topped with a pastry crust.

The classic version contains chicken, though beef and turkey are common.

American pot pies are often baked in individual portions with only a top crust, while British versions may have bottom crusts as well: She made chicken pot pie for dinner.
