Put your leftover pot roast to good use in this Leftover Roast Beef Pot Pie. It re-purposes all the beef, potatoes, carrots and gravy into a delicious pie. Feel free to use a pre-made pie crust to make this a quick and easy dinner recipe.
Remember how I promised you more Everyday Eats aka recipes you can make for dinner? Well a few weeks ago I posted Zuppa Toscana Soup and now I’m back sharing a recipe for an easy Beef Pot Pie you can make using your leftovers from a pot roast. Don’t worry if you don’t have a leftover pot roast, you can still make the pie, you’ll just have to cook cubed beef and vegetables first.
This recipe is based on one my mom made for us growing up and it is comfort food, perfect for a rainy day like we are having today. (I’m actually not sad about the rain today, my garden needed it.) I should give you an update on my garden. Maybe I can use some homegrown veggies to make the pie later this summer.
Right now the lettuce and radishes are peaking their heads through and I think I spotted a pea sprout, I’m hoping the rain brings the rest of them up. The strawberries and asparagus still look pretty dormant, but I think that’s still expected at this point, at least I hope.
Back to the pie, doesn’t that filling look amazing? I want to say, “I’m making myself hungry again looking at these pictures.” But that’s the most cliche thing a food blogger can say, so I’m going to avoid it. Although, my family certainly calls me out when I have made many other cliche food blogger statements.
Anyway, my last bragging point on the pie is the fact that my husband helped himself to another piece as a bedtime snack it was so good. Who is he anyway? My choice of bedtimes snacks involve ice cream or cookies, certainly not a piece of leftover pot pie. What kind of snack do you reach for at bedtimes?
Pot pie is such comfort food and these other variation sounds delicious too!
Here is a recipe for Individual Beef Pot Pies that sound fun!
Or How about Chicken Alfredo Pot Pie
Taco Pot Pie from Lemon Tree Dwelling sounds great!

I made a roast and veggies 2 nights ago…we’ve had our fill of it! Do you think I could freeze each component separately and assemble later in the fall? I didn’t thicken the jus at all, so I think it would freeze ok. Thanks and fabulous idea!

I’ve never tried it, but it sounds like it would work.
Sarah says
Is this something I can pre make? Like put it together today, and cook it tomorrow for dinner if I keep it in the fridge?
Mallory says
Hi Sarah. You could make the filling and the pie crust a day ahead and then refrigerate them. But I would wait till right before baking to assemble.

This was a super yummy recipe. I used my leftover potroast from last night, and added corn and peas. Store bought pie crust (had it on hand), and I am super pleased.
Thanks for the recipe!
