Variations Ideas
- Stew Meat – This pot pie recipe is made with diced up stew meat. You can but it at the store already diced or your can dice up the meat on your own. Make sure it is about the same size.
- Vegetables – I usually frozen vegetables with peas and carrots. But you can also add in fresh vegetables. The addition of tomato paste, corn and mushrooms is a great addition.
- Seasoning – Feel free to change the seasoning to what you prefer. The addition of a teaspoon of oregano, Worcestershire Sauce, or soy sauce adds a delicious variation.
- Biscuits – We love the ease of making this with canned biscuits, but you can also use puff pastry. If using puff pastry, place the beef mixture in a pie dish and bake in the oven with puff pastry on top. We like to top with a egg wash and cut slits to cook the crust golden brown texture and a flaky crust.
Step by Step Instructions
- Step 1 – Add all the ingredients except for the cornstarch, water and biscuits to the crock pot.
- Step 2 – Cook the meat mixture on low for 8 hours in the crockpot.
- Step 3 – About 1 hour before cooking mix together your cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
- Step 4 – Stir into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.

Recipe Tips
- Chopped Vegetables – When prepare for this recipe, you can use frozen vegetables or fresh veggies. If using fresh we recommend chopping the veggies about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Thicken Sauce – This pot pie has a thicker consistency because of the cornstarch slurry that is added.
Serving Suggestions
We serve a biscuit on top of each bowl. It is delicious! Just use canned biscuits to keep it simple and easy. We have even used crescent rolls before. If you have extra time, you can make our easy homemade biscuits.

I add it in raw and let is cook in the crock pot.
Does the stew meat need to be precooked or do you add it in raw and let it cook in the crock pot?
Yes, that’s correct. Thank you!
Is it supposed to be 1 hour before serving when adding the cornstarch?
