I’m not much of a pie person, but I love savory meat pies. Here’s one of our favorites:
Chile Relenos Pie
1 lb. ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
About 8 oz of shredded cheddar cheese.
3 cans whole chili peppers
2 deep dish pie crusts
Brown beef; drain well. Mix in diced tomatoes; drain again. Layer in 1 pie shell, 1/2 of meat, then 1/2 of shredded cheese. Take well drained and split whole green chilies and layer over cheese. Layer rest of meat, cheese and chilies. Cover with 2nd pie crust. Seal edges of crust together with a fork and puncture top crust with fork. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.

I use basic pie crusts to make chicken pot pies. I use Megan’s Pantry Potato Soup as my base and add cooked diced chicken and any veggies I have handy. It’s actually pretty good. You could use something else as the base, but I haven’t figured out anything better yet.
