Lamb and Poblano Potato Pot Pie

Las week I arrived from a trip to a kitchen with an almost empty refrigerator and minimal cooking ingredients to prepare dinner with.

I put my thinking cap on and gathered all the vegetables I had on hand and thawed out a tray of ground lamb meat I had in my freezer for emergency situations such as this one.

Usually, I like to serve ground meat wrapped in corn or flour tortillas or scooped up with chips. This time I decided to serve something completely different. A pot pie made with a soft layer of Bisquick Original Mix.

Dinner was ready in under 40 minutes. My family was happy and surprised what just a few leftover ingredients can do in such a short amount of time. This dish can turn into the perfect pot pie with Thanksgiving and Christmas leftovers. As long as I have Bisquick at hand, those leftovers can be transformed into new family favorites. With successful results such as this one, the sweet and savory possibilities are endless and effortless.
