CHICKEN POT PIE WITH A TATER TOT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, leeks and tarragon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the skillet over medium heat, sprinkle in the flour and whisk until a paste forms and starts to bubble. Whisk in the chicken broth and continue to cook until it begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the cream and cook until it thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper.
• Return the vegetables to the skillet; add the peas and chicken and stir to combine. Sprinkle the frozen tater tots all over the filling to cover completely (there will be extra tater tots; reserve for another use). Bake until the tots are golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

• Place a large skillet over a medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onion and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken, cream of celery soup, 1/2 can of water and the frozen mixed vegetables. Stir well and cook until just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Arrange the tater tots in tightly packed rows to completely cover the top. Do not press the tots into the mixture; just let them sit on top. Bake until the tot topping is browned and the chicken mixture is bubbly, about 30 minutes, then serve.

SUNNY'S TATER TOT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil begins to swirl, add the beef, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the meat is browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and saute for a few minutes to intensify the flavor. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Season again and remove the mixture to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan.
• In the same pan, add the onions and cook until almost tender. Then add the carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, tossing, until the vegetables are tender but still a bit crunchy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• In the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish in this order, layer half of the beef mixture, pressing it down to level it, and then sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the beef. Pour the remaining half of the beef over the cheese and press down to level as well. Add the vegetables, followed by the remaining cheese; press to level. Top with the tater tots in a neat row like little soldiers. Sprinkle the top with paprika and bake until the edges on the tots turn golden brown, 25 minutes.

• Note: This recipe easily doubles and you can make two. I freeze the extra one with the tater tots on top and then remove and thaw in fridge. Bake as directed above. Also, I sometimes add an extra can of soup and an extra 1/4 cup of milk for a thinner consistency. This would be a personal preference. Also, I add approximately 1/2 tsp of dried thyme and 1/2 tsp of black pepper for one casserole - adaptable to your taste.
