Tonight I am having beef pot pie made in a cast iron dutch oven.  This reduces my prep dishes to clean to two.  In the dutch oven I browned the meat, added onions, celery, carrots and potatoes and cooked those a little also.  Then a jar of gravy, frozen peas and pepper.

In dish number two, mixed up two cups of buttermilk biscuit mix, and added french fried onions as the crust, spoon that on top of the filling directly in the dutch oven.

All goes into an oven at 400 degrees for about thirty minutes.  By using the dutch oven instead of a casserole I don’t have to clean that now.
