Super Yummy Cheesy Pot Pie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 frozen pie shells, preferably deep dish
    Pot Pie filling:
    3-4 small potatoes, cut into bite size chunks
    2-3 carrots, cut into bite size chunks
    1/2 - 1 cup broccoli florets
    Cheese Sauce:
    1/2 cup flour
    3/4 cup nutritional yeast
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup non-dairy milk
    1 cup water
    3 tablespoon veggie oil (mild tasting)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Take your pie shells out of the freezer and let them thaw while you prepare everything else.

Cut your veggies up into bite-size pieces (feel free to add more veggies or use a different mix, depending on your tastes or just what's on hand) and cook either in microwave or stove, so that they're partially done, but not completely.  I usually just toss them in the microwave while I make the cheese sauce.

You could also add any meat substitutes, like chick'n strips, seitan or tofu.

***The cheese sauce I use is from the "Flashback Mac and Cheese" recipe on this site. It's our favorite cheese sauce we've found so far.***

To make cheese sauce:

Add flour, nut yeast, and spices to saucepan and turn heat on medium.  In a separate bowl, combine milk, water and veggie oil.  Slowly add the wet to the dry, whisking continually over medium heat.  Once the ingredients are combined, turn heat up and keep whisking until mixture is bubbly and thickens some.  Turn heat back down to medium and keep whisking until you get a nice thick cheese sauce.

When your cheese sauce is done and your veggies are slightly tender, combine the two and then fill one pie crust with mixture.  I like to use the deep dish ones and really fill it up.  Then remove your second pie crust from the tin and place it on top of your filled pot pie.  Use a fork to press the crusts together around the edges and seal it, then to punch a few holes on the top of the crust.

Bake in oven for around 35-45 minutes, till crust is nice and brown, and cheese will probably be oozing out.  Enjoy!

Serves: 4 hungry people

Preparation time: about 15 minutes

This is a great recipe! I used a frozen spelt crust. I didn't have nutritional yeast so I used powdered soup stock instead and it worked great! I also didn't have carrots...or broccoli...but I really wanted a pot pie. I used spinach, potatoes, celery, cauliflower, peas, corn, onions and firm tofu. Next time hopefully I will have carrots, broccoli and nutritional yeast. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Well I made it for supper tonight and all was pretty good except for the cheese sauce.   Sorry but there was  just way, way, way, too much of a nutritional yeast flavor.  Undecided 

JoAnne Stepaniak has me spoiled with all her different vegan cheese sauces.  She wrote, "The Uncheese Cookbook".  It's strictly cheese sauces for everykind of real cheese out there.  She's AMAZING! She has 2 of these Unchesse Cookbooks out; one is dedicated to cheese sauces using beans and one using nutritional yeast and nuts. They're much more rich, creamy & subtlely flavored. I'm going to try one of hers next time  I got them from Amazon for cheap.

I give 5 stars for the mixture and 5 stars for the genius of using pie shells.  The instructions were very well written too.  Thank you for sharing it with everyone here. Extra Cool

I'll have to check out those cheese cookbooks.  I've tried a few different cheese sauces from this site, and so far, that one's been our favorite, but we also like nut yeast a lot so it doesn't bother us at all.  Thanks for giving it a try!  Smiley

I made the recipe and I liked it, but I evidentley didn't cook my veggies enough before putting them in the shell.  Sad
I look forward to trying it again and having the veggies cooked better, everything else was fantastic with the recipe!

I made this and really enjoyed it. I used broccli, onion, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, and jalapenos. It definately has a really strong nut. yeast flavor but that didn't bother me. Thanks

Oh my goodness, this is sooo tasty! I didn't actually make it myself but my sister (the1stdrop a.k.a the author of this recipe) brought some leftovers in to work for me the next day and it was way awesome. Like so good. I totally want to make it myself but then just keep hoping that she'll bring me in some for work again. Maybe she will after she sees this post... hint hint...

YUM!!!! I love this recipe! I cooked it tonight for my husband and four kids and it was amazing! maybe i'm a freak, but i adore the nut. yeast. we all thought it tasted amazing! My filling had corn, peas, black beans, potatoes, mushrooms, some tofu, broccoli, and carrots. I made WAY to many veggies-- i am used to cooking for six after all  Wink So i made double the cheez mix and made two pies. I also made my own vegan crust with my homemade soymilk---  YUM!!!  Smitten this recipe was such a hit and will be repeated! I'll put my picks up as soon as they decide to be agreeable and upload.[/color]

Yay!  I'm so glad you liked!  I must be a freak, too, cuz I love the nut yeast cheese as well.  =)

This Pot Pie turned out simply delectable.  I used vanilla rice milk and made the pot pie crust from scratch using the pie crust recipe at http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=27821.0 with white, whole wheat flour.  I put corn, peas, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, and Morning Star Farms vegan chicken strips in the filling.  My omni family devoured this dish and want me to make it for them again.  At this rate I will soon convert them all to an animal-free diet.  Thank you for this excellent recipe.

Made this the other night and was pretty pleased.  I didn't use the cheese sauce recipe above, but opted to use the recipe for Dragonfly's Bulk Dry Uncheese Mix from this site because I still have a TON of the mix left.  It came out perfect!  This will be a staple in my recipe box from now on!
