Bott Boi Pennsylvania Dutch Pot Pie

This recipe is my great grandmother's. An authentic Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. It is not a stew and not covered with crust. The recipe can be made with beef or chicken. I cannot think of a better comfort food recipe. Very simple to prepare. Dad fondly called this recipe "Tire patches".
