Put your leftover pot roast to good use in this Leftover Roast Beef Pot Pie!
This pot pie uses your leftover pot roast, potatoes, carrots, and gravy to create a fantastic 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 easy dinner recipes? These Crock-Pot Sweet and Sour Meatballs and the Mexican Pulled Pork have been really popular this year.
If you haven’t tried them yet, Pizza Sliders and French Bread Pizza are a couple more delicious options that you can have on the table faster than you can order take-out.
Roast Beef Pot Pie
I’m back today sharing this recipe for an easy “Leftover” Beef Pot Pie you can make using the leftovers from Sunday’s 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.
Doesn’t that filling look amazing? I just want to grab a spoon and eat this all over again. Don’t be intimidated by the crust either!
Like I mentioned earlier, you can always pick up a pre-made crust, OR you can use this cheater pie crust that is made with oil. My family has been using it for years and it’s never failed us.
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 bedtime snacks involves mint chip ice cream or chocolate turtle cookies, certainly not a piece of leftover pot pie.
What kind of snack do you reach for late at night? Are you a savory or sweet snacker in the evening?
Pot pie is absolute comfort food isn’t it? These variations sound delicious too!
This recipe for Chicken Alfredo Pot Pies from The Gunny Sack sounds fun, as does this Taco Pot Pie from Lemon Tree Dwelling.
Baked Parmesan pork chops are tender and juicy with a crispy Parmesan crust. Pair them with a quick rice pilaf and some sauteed asparagus for a dinner everyone will enjoy.
Beef Pot Pie Recipe
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Prepare the pie dough and line the bottom of the pie plate with the bottom crust.
- In a large bowl, mix together the beef, potatoes, carrots, peas, gravy, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper.
- Gently fill the crust with the mixture and top with the second crust. Crimp the edges and brush with a beaten egg, if desired.
- Bake at 425 F for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.
You can cook fresh beef and vegetables for the pie instead of using leftovers, but it will take a bit longer.

I love easy comfort food like this!
I’m so glad you like the pot pie!
Have made meat pie from our leftover roast beef dinner for over 50 years. Simple one as this recipe is but add a lot more flavor by adding 1/4tsp each of ground ginger, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Then add a few Tabs of tomato paste to the gravy and 1/2 tsp. Oregano. Mix it all together and these additional ingredients makes it even better! But I only put a pie crust on the top… not the bottom & bake it in a glass oblong pan.
I’m glad you like it!
I used this a a loose guide. I used leftover roast beef, frozen veggies for stew, and a packet of Campbell’s beef stew and seasoned to taste. I heated the filling on the stovetop while waiting for the refrigerated pie crusts to come to room temp and then baked at 350 for about 40-45 minutes. It was delicious, will make again.
I’m glad you were able to adapt the recipe to suit your taste, Kendra. Enjoy the pot pie!
This recipe was perfect as is. Made a second one with green beans instead of peas since grandkids won’t eat peas. Not a crumb left.
I’m glad to hear that the pot pie was a hit! Sometimes it takes a couple tries to find the right vegetable.
Thank you for helping me make an almost perfect first meat pot pie!!! I made this last night using up our leftover beef chuck roast with taters, carrots and green beans. The amounts were exactly what I had on hand! (Although I did toss in a few other cooked veggie leftovers that were languishing in the fridge to get to 4 cups veg.) my leftover gravy amount was just over two cups and I went with it. Worked perfectly! I used two tips I found for keeping the bottom crust flaky and crisp and they worked! 1. Preheat a cookie sheet and place the pie dish on that to cook (starting the bottom of the dish hot AND catching spills!) and 2. Use the bottom rack of the oven (keeping heat on the bottom.) I did need to bake about 45 mins to reach 165F inside the pie, and I covered it lightly with foil after 30 mins (because that crust was gorgeous!!!!!)
Thank you again! This is a milestone for me 🙂
Congratulations on your milestone, Beth! Horray for a perfect pot pie. Second, THANK YOU for that awesome tip. I am definitely going to try that the next time I make a pot pie. That is genius to preheat a baking pan to get the bottom crust baking faster. I love learning new tricks from our readers.
I just put a roast and veggies in the crock pot this morning and am planning on making this tomorrow with the left overs. Can’t wait!
Perfect use of leftover, Jyssica. Enjoy!
