Venison Pot Pie...anyone?

[Deerthug]

I'd like to make it. Can anyone recommend a recipe for it? Thanks...

[Big Indian]

do it just like a chicken pot pie, substituting the venison for chicken. I will post my recipe for that later....trying to get my daughter off to school

3 tbsp butter

3 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp thyme

1/8 tsp pepper

3/4 cup chicken broth ( I would use beef broth for the venison)

3/4 cup whipping cream

2 cups cooked chicken/ venison

1- 10oz package froz peas/ carrots

1 cup small whole onions ( cocktail style)

2 pie shells ( one for filling, the other to lattice over the pie)

heat butter over low heat until melted. Stir in flour salt, pepper, thyme and cook stirring until it's smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat, stir in broth and cream heat till boiling stirring constantly, for 1 min. Add venison, peas, carrots, onions. Mix in pot then transfer to pie shell. Use extra pie shell to make a lattice over pie.

Bake 35-40 mins @ 450.

Enjoy

Hey camogirl...I hope you enjoy it as much as I and my family did. My wife, who is on the fenc regarding venison, loved it and has started to ask for recipes like that one

Thanks!! I will be making it tomorrow for dinner.

Do you first brown the venison or just wash and pour it into the pie crust along with the other ingredients?

Add green beans top that and it sounds pretty perfect...

Ok. My venison pot pie is going in....

Before....

[Deerthug]

After...

Oh my!

There is just a sliver left. My kids and wife and I devoured it!

Only downside was that It was a little sweet, perhaps because I used pre made pastry dough I bought at the grocers instead of plain bread dough.

Next time I plan on asking my Mother in law to make some plain crust dough. Overall I'm quite pleased.

Looks damn good...

MAN that pie looks good. I made some back straps, sautéed in butter and garlic, a couple days ago, but now I feel like getting a little more creative.
