potpies
Baked filling domes
Potpies are savory pies with a filling of meat and vegetables in gravy, topped with a pastry crust.
Chicken potpie is the classic American version, though beef and turkey are common.
The filling is typically diced meat with peas, carrots, and potatoes in a creamy sauce: Nothing beats a homemade chicken potpie on a cold night.
