Beef Pot Pie With Cheddar Onion Biscuits

Beef Pot Pie With Cheddar Onion Biscuits – September has been declared National Biscuit month.   I think that’s a mighty good thing to celebrate, too. Buttermilk biscuits are also known as our beloved house bread of the South. I can’t remember a single time when my Mom and Gramma’s didn’t have biscuits on the table to go with our meals. In particular at breakfast, however, they were also served as bread at other meals and make a tasty biscuit sandwich, if you are so inclined.

 

I have fond memories of seeing the kitchen counter covered in flour and my Mom rolling and cutting biscuits for our meal.  There was always butter and a variety of jellies and jams, and in the Summer fresh from the garden sliced tomatoes to dress our biscuits.  Biscuits here in the South tend to be more savory but, sweet biscuits or scones, are popular too. They’re delectable. Homemade cheddar-onion drop biscuits make the perfect topping for this hearty beef pot pie.  It’s a one dish meal packed with the kind of comfort that’s sure to please your hungry eaters.

    Is sloppy joe sauce just sloppy joe in a can?

    Hi April, that’s a great question. Yes, use a really good sloppy joe sauce in the flavor of your choice. You can also use an Italian seasoned tomato sauce in the same amount to make it to your taste.

    Hi Melissa, this recipe sounds awesome and would be a great meal for those cold winter days. My hubby is kind of particular and I know he wouldn’t like the Sloppy Joe’s. He would prefer a more beefy taste to his pot pie. He won’t eat tomatoes in his pot pie, pot roast or beef stew. what do you suggest I use to replace the Sloppy Joe’s so he is satisfied and will eat the pot pie? If you could send me a note I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your help.

      Hi Patsy, I completely understand. I recommend you replace it with the same amount of a different flavored tomato sauce. They make them now for both meatloaf and chili starters. Each has a different flavor variation which you can personalize to your taste. Also, the skillet meal starters from McCormick’s might even work. They come in a variety of flavors. I could give you a homemade sauce, and I find it just as simple to make because I usually have the ingredients on hand. For this recipe I was looking for a shortcut to offer to my readers. Please email me at [email protected] if you’d like the homemade sauce.

      You can certainly make the filling in advance, then pop the biscuits on just before going into the oven.
