This homestyle classic is perfect for cozy family dinners or gatherings with friends. In this comprehensive recipe, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating this mouthwatering Ham Pot Pie that will warm your heart and delight your taste buds.
Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice-cold water
For the Filling:
2 cups cooked ham, diced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
1/2 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
For the Pie Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice-cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape them into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling.
For the Filling:
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onions, celery, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables become tender and translucent.
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth and whole milk or half-and-half, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the diced ham, frozen peas and carrots mix, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Assembling the Ham Pot Pie:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a floured surface, roll out one chilled pie crust disk to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press the crust into the bottom and sides of the dish.
Pour the slightly cooled ham and vegetable filling into the pie crust.
Roll out the second chilled pie crust disk and place it over the filling. Trim the excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Optionally, brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water) for a golden finish.
Place the Ham Pot Pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake it in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
