Crustless Meat Pie
A hearty, filling crustless meat pie combining leftover poultry or ham with vegetables and creamy soup, topped with seasoned stuffing for a comforting, family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine leftover poultry or ham, canned sliced potatoes, peas and carrots, and cream of chicken soup in a baking dish.
- Top the mixture evenly with Stove Top stuffing mix with seasoning.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 1 hour until heated through and topping is golden.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some herbs like thyme or rosemary. If you don't have leftover poultry or ham, rotisserie chicken works well. You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with homemade cream of mushroom soup for a different taste. Also, feel free to add other vegetables like corn or green beans to enhance the dish.
Serving Suggestions
This crustless meat pie is great on its own but pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Consider serving it alongside some crusty bread or a light soup, such as Spring Chicken Soup, for a comforting dinner. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh potatoes instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh potatoes! Just peel and slice them thinly, then parboil for about 5-7 minutes before adding them to the dish. This ensures they cook through while baking.
What can I do if I don't have Stove Top stuffing mix?
If you don't have Stove Top stuffing mix, you can make your own using breadcrumbs, seasonings, and broth. Combine about 2 cups of breadcrumbs with your choice of herbs and spices, then moisten with chicken or vegetable broth before topping the pie.
Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
Yes, this pie freezes well! To freeze, let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen, increasing the baking time to ensure it's heated through.
