Can I use puff pastry on the bottom of a pie?
You could but the beauty of puff pastry is that it puffs so beautifully and gives light, flaky layers. Shortcrust pastry is much better as the bottom layer of a pie and to prevent it going soggy from the filling, blind-bake until golden before filling and baking with the top layer of pastry.
How long to cook pot pie
Because the filling is already fully cooked, you really just need to bake the pot pie until the pastry on the top is golden and puffed, around 15-20 minutes. Depending on the filling you use (beef takes longer than chicken), the filling can take between 1 and 3 hours to cook. Using a slow cooker, crock pot or pressure cooker is great for cooking savory pie fillings.
What to serve with beef pot pie
We love this pie served with creamy mashed potatoes and vegetables like peas, carrots or green beans. A big green salad is also a great idea.
