Simple Tuna Pot Pie

Submitted by Shelby

"Oh, I love these individual tuna pot pies! I found these on the back of a Chicken of the Sea Tuna pouch, and I am glad I did. Recipe is very easily halved into 2 pot pies. Also, with my changes (The ones in parentheses) these come out to 200 calories per pot pie. Also, if you want a crust or lattice top piece, simply crisscross crescent roll dough on top of pies before baking."

 

• Ready In: 23mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 4 individual pot pies
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• 1 cup frozen vegetables, NOT defrosted (personally, I use about 2 cups, and whatever I have in the freezer with success)
• 1 cup milk (I use skim)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1⁄2 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use 0.5 cup 2% sharp, and it's good and cheesy)
• 1 (7 ounce) envelope solid white tuna packed in water or (12 ounce) can chunk light tuna, drained and flaked
• 1 (8 ounce) can crescent roll dough (optional)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In medium saucepan, combine water, vegetables, and bouillon cube. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 2 minutes longer.
3. Dissolve cornstarch in milk, stir into vegetable saucepan and cook until thickened (maybe a little less than 2 minutes.) Stir in tuna and cheese.
4. Spoon mixture into 4 (3/4 cup to 1.5 cup) individual pie pans or casserole dishes.
5. Optional step: Separate crescent roll dough into 4 rectangles, cut each rectangle into six strips. Attach crust by crisscrossing six dough strips over each pot pie and pressing down firmly; trim excess dough.
6. Bakes pies at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

I tried to submit a correction to this recipe but was not sure how to do it. 1 teaspoon chicken broth should read 1 chicken bouillon cube. Also 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough should be in the list of ingredients. 1 can (12 oz.) Solid White Albacore or Chunk Light Tuna, drained and flaked could also be used in place of the 1 (7 ounce) envelope solid white tuna packed in water
