potpie
Baked comfort dish
A potpie is a savory pie with a filling of meat and vegetables in a thick gravy, typically topped with a pastry crust.
Chicken potpie is the most familiar variety in American cooking, though beef and turkey versions are common.
The dish can be baked in a single large pan or in individual portions.
Some regional styles, particularly in Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, feature a stew-like version with squares of dough rather than a crust.
