savory pies

Filled, baked crusts

Savory pies are pies with non-sweet fillings—meat, vegetables, cheese, or combinations thereof.

The category includes pot pies, shepherd's pie, chicken pie, and meat pies of various kinds.

Unlike dessert pies, savory pies are served as main courses or substantial sides: We're having chicken pot pie for dinner.

British and Australian cuisines feature them prominently.
