Shortcut Meatball Pot Pie
Yields 4 to 6 servings
What you’ll need to make this hearty dish
Ingredients:
- 8 to 10 frozen meatballs, cut in halves or quarters (slightly thawed) — turkey or beef work well
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, slightly thawed
- 1 jar or can of chicken or turkey gravy
- 1 cup Bisquick (regular or Heart Healthy)
- 1/2 cup milk (plus up to 2 tbsp more if needed) — 2% or whole milk work well
- 1 large egg
Here’s how to make this meatball pot pie casserole
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a cookie sheet with foil and set aside.
- Lightly spray a round or square casserole dish (about 9 inches) with cooking spray. Place the slightly thawed mixed vegetables, cut meatballs, and the gravy into the dish and stir gently to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, 1/2 cup milk, and the egg. A few small lumps are fine — avoid overmixing. If the batter seems too thick, stir in up to 2 tablespoons more milk. Pour the batter evenly over the meatballs and vegetables and gently smooth the top. Set the casserole dish on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with a salad or your preferred side. This casserole reheats well and is ideal for sharing at potlucks.
