Pizza Pot Pie! An easy perfect dinner that will impress | MUST TRY

[@desi_vintage]

Great video Dave, looks delicious! If people want dough on the bottom, pre-cook the bottom dough in the ramekin for 5 or 6 minutes, then put the filling and top dough. It helps partially cook the bottom dough. I do it like that on my chicken pot pies! ☺️

[@KapricornKary]

I was just coming here to say that 😂

[@momsorrell]

I do it with fresh pizza too. Pre bake the dough then add toppings to finish

[@judyfrank2551]

That would be my suggestion as well.

[@Cynthiabecker24]

Put some greaseproof paper over the dough, add some lentils to hold paper in place(also known as blind baking) 😊

[@pstep691]

@@Cynthiabecker24I think you should specify dried lentils or beans cuz I can see him putting cooked lentils on the dough. 😂

Chef, when you put the dough in the bottom and sides of the ramekins, poke with a fork, bottoms and sides, pre bake the dough. Let cool a bit, add the filling and top with the unasked lids. Bake as directed for the same amount of time. Your bottom crust will be done. These look absolutely delicious!!

[@budgiebirdy]

I buy bacon when it goes rock bottom price (usually every few months), stock up like I'm prepping for the zombie apocalypse, and make it all at the same time in the oven in batches at 400 for around 20 minutes. I bought a cute little bacon grease container to save all the grease and put that in the fridge. I vacuum seal the bacon goodness in packages of strips of 3, date it, and put it in the freezer. It'll take a couple of hours of prep, but then you save time on prep later. For a recipe like this, all I'd have to do is is pull out a package or two of bacon and zap it in the microwave for a bit to defrost. And probably use the bacon grease to fry stuff in, if you didn't have enough from the sausage. Having easy bacon on hand is great for quick bacon cheeseburgers, bacon in soup or beans, topping for potatoes, ect.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Thanks for the suggestion about baking and then freezing bacon.

[@pat4005]

❤ I do exactly the same thing. Partially prepping and freezing some things that you know you will be using often, is a great timesaver if you can do it.

Drape the crust over the entire ramekin. After crust browns, turn over onto plate and now you have a pizza bowl.

[@dianepeak6833]

There is a restsurant in Chicago that does just that! Looks like a very large mushroom intil they turn it over on a plate.

Hi, your title invited me. Always looking for new ideas for grandkids. I'm a former pro-cook. Let's start though with your knife, please sharpen it and, second, place a damp paper towel or cloth or material under your cutting board so it's not sliding around like that. I really like your honesty and think it's cute! Thanks for the newest idea! Pro-tip, the key to a non-soggy crust is cheese first, partial bake, then fill and bake til done.

[@CookingWthDave]

Thanks

[@KJ-kn2ph]

And third, grasp the knife, almost making a "fist" around the handle, with your thumb anchored where the blade meets the handle, and do not place your index finger on top, like in the video. You'll gain much more control & precision of the knife when cutting/chopping 😉!

[@DennisFahlstrom]

Looks simple and good! I’ll try it this weekend…

[@gquilter36]

Née to put just a 1/4 or 1/2 cup water, pour back and forth to the two cans till they are pretty clean. It was to get every drop of sauce out of the can. I still do it when I make sauce.

[@DanInDemand]

I cook bacon in oven. Foil on cookie sheet for easy cleanup. Bacon goes in cold oven set timer 20-25min and preheat to 400. Bacon starts cooking while oven preheats.

[@daisyblooms4813]

I bake it in the oven in a deeper pan and then loosely top with foil to avoid splatters in the oven. :-) Easy clean up!

If you want dough on the bottom, make it so it overflows the ramekin dish. Add the meat, cheese and top dough. Using the overflowingbdough and top dough to press together to make a closed pie. Ty

[@lorettavanpelt7567]

These look good for dinner with a nice salad on the side. Very filling 😊😊

[@Angelicus-p5p]

A cook I worked for once showed me to unwrap your bacon and while still stacked cut crosswise right through at the widths you want, then fry so that you already have bits. I'll do a package and freeze so they're ready for any dish. Easy peasy. Also as a horticulturist I can vouch for the different taste of green versus any color of pepper. They are all green and less sweet when not fully ripe. I would say whether red, orange, yellow, purple, they all taste sweet and similar when ripe. Love the idea of this pizza pot pie! Just like cabbage roll casserole is easier than actual rolls, I'm hoping pot pies are easier. 😊 Dip finger in water and run around edge of dough before adding top, will help it stick.

1 can of water.. yes, condensed soup but, 2 cans of water ... Frozen juice concentrate. My grandma used to have apple, orange, and grape juice in the freezer ready to go at a moments notice. Walmart still sells it. I was buying it for the kids during covid because of the juice shortage. I think people forgot all about it in the freezer section.

[@Nob-c3j]

@@--harry_ Yeah I remember those, Minute Maid frozen concentrate. It's been YEARS since I've seen those. But now I live in Australia, and just sadly you can't get those things over here. The Mexican mixes or Salsa over here is just not what you get in North America. The tastes are completely different and much milder, almost to the point of being BLAND. I am salivating over just thinking about the Pace thick and chunky salsa. I used to use one of those large jugs as a base for my chili con carne

[@GregCurtin45]

First time viewer with a few thoughts: 1) I love your kitchen. Great colors and layout. 2) If putting a bottom crust into your ramekin (and I would) treat it like a Chicago style pizza. Cheese on the bottom to protect the crust. (I might even mix in some dry bread crumbs). 3)Fresh mozzarella contains liquid whey and will make the crust soggy and the entire insides soupy. 4) Cut the slits in the top AFTER adding the egg wash, otherwise you might have sealed it shut and it could explode. Grease your ramekin and it will probably pop out easily about 15 minutes after leaving the oven. Love your channel's concept. While many are stupid and arrogant I find your honesty and humility very welcoming. ps: when making (buying) a dough for a pot pie of any kind try adding seasonings to the dough. When I make a chicken pot pie dough I always add pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. After washing the top with egg I always salt and freshly cracked pepper on top. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with all of us.

[@CookingWthDave]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@kevinbyrne4538]

No one seems to make any effort to flavor pie crusts, so your suggestion about adding garlic powder and onion powder is a good one.

Back in the old days women would pour a little water in every can to get every drop & not waste anything. As recipes improved & old ones were refined & tweaked you could put water, stock, wine, etc. depending on the recipe, in the can to also use as a measurement & not dirty more dishes. Your dish looks delicious. 😊 Oh fyi; I did see where one of the youtubers baked the crust alone, just not for the whole time then fill then back remaining time. Voila' no soggy pie. 👩‍🦳

[@DLFH]

Qick tip when putting dough into a vessel (ramekin, pie plate) turn a simlar vessel over and place the dough over the bottem of the upside-down vessel. Then, place the other vessle over the dough and turn both vessels over. Then, fold dough over the edges with the top vessel in place, and once you are happy with edge placement, just lift off the top vessel. You have a perfectly fitted dough without pressing or stretching.
