Beef Pot Pie

 Do you watch Sister Wives? I sure do. Christine has always been my favorite, and the fact that she now has a cooking segment with TLC is my favorite. Here is her Beef Pot Pie recipe which I made for the family and we loved it.





Beef Pot Pie

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 lbs stew meat
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 5 small yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1 box double pie crusts, thawed

Combine the flour, garlic salt, and paprika in a large bowl. Pat the beef dry with paper towels and toss in the flour mixture to coat well.

Heat an instant pot on the saute setting and add 1 tbsp of the oil.  When the oil is hot, add half of the beef and brown on all sides.  Removed to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and floured beef.

Once all of the beef is browned, add it back to the pot with the onions, potatoes, carrots and any remaining flour in the bowl. Mix the water and gravy packet until smooth, pour over everything and mix well. Seal the instant pot and set to High Pressure for 35 minutes and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes after.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Unroll the pie crusts and place 1 in a pie plate. Spoon in enough filling to fill the crust. Unroll and turn the other pie crust onto the pie and crimp the edges together. Cut 4-5 small slits in the top crust with a paring knife. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Let cool on a a rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
