VEGETARIAN POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan. When it foams, add fennel, onions, and carrots, and cook until just soft and onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and potato, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring rarely, until mushrooms have let off water and are shrunken, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir to coat, and cook until raw flavor is gone, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add broth and milk, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add peas, herbs, and vinegar, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Turn filling into an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
• Whisk egg together with 2 teaspoons water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
• With kitchen shears, cut dough to fit over the baking dish. Place dough over filling and tuck into the edges of the dish. Brush dough with egg wash and cut slits in the top to vent. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and mixture is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.

RAILROAD PIE

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, adding the peppers and onions. When done, drain, and return to skillet. Stir in the corn, tomatoes, sour cream, and chili powder. In another bowl prepare the cornbread mix following directions on the package.
• 2. Pour beef mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Spoon cornbread batter evenly over the top. Evenly spread the cheddar cheese over the batter and bake following the directions on the cornbread mix until cornbread is done and top is lightly brown.

B & O CORNBREAD PIE

Steps:

• Brown the beef and onion in a skillet. Add the soup, water, seasonings, corn, and green pepper. Mix well and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Then fill either a greased large pie pan or a greased casserole dish 3/4 full, leaving room for the topping. Now prepare the topping. Sift together all of the topping ingredients except the egg, then add the egg and the milk. Cover the meat mixture with the topping mixture and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Don't be surprised when the topping disappears into the meat mixture; it will rise during the baking and form a good layer of corn bread.
