Crockpot Pot Pie

This was incredibly simple and tasted pretty good. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it's another good comfort food. I used Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough for the top, but I think it would have been better if I'd used Bisquick or another biscuit dough. It also needed some salt and pepper, but there was no harm done by allowing each person to season their own. I let it cook on low for 5.5 hours and then turned it up to high for 1 hour. I also used beef stew meat...told you I was lazy, it was something I could pick up from the store already chopped up!

Ingredients:
Serves: 6

Filling --
- 3 Chicken thighs or breasts chopped up, or 1.5 lbs boneless pork chops, or 1.5lbs beef stew meat
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 large baking potato, chopped up
- 1 sm jar sliced mushrooms
- 2 cans of cream of mushroom and garlic soup (any cream of____ will work)
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp majoram
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 4 Tbsp heavy cream (or any type of cream or milk)

Topping --
- 2 1/4 cups Bisquick Mix
- 2/3 cup milk


Directions:
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 3-7 hours
 
My 6-qt crockpot had plenty of room for more, I probably could've gotten away with using the 4-qt, but better safe than sorry the first time :)

1. Spray crockpot with cooking spray, or grease with butter or shortening (whatever you've got on hand to keep it from sticking.
2. Dump everything for the filling into crockpot.
3. Stir until all veggies and meat are mixed well into the soup.
4. Make biscuit dough and lay on top of filling.
5. Cover and cook on high for 3-5 hours or high for 6-7 hours. You want the biscuit in the center to be firm/start to get crunchy.

If alot of condensation starts to build up on the lid then prop the lid open a little (vent)with a wooden spoon or chopstick.
