Variations
Sweet Potato Rib Meat Pot Pie
Try the Sweet Potato Rib Meat Pot Pie for a warm and somewhat sweet twist. To add sweetness and earthiness, replace the typical white potatoes in the filling with sweet potatoes. Feel free to add a touch of nutmeg or cinnamon to infuse warm, cozy flavors. For a lovely, golden finish, you may also use a blend of sweet and regular potatoes as the topping instead of a flaky pastry crust. This version is ideal for people who prefer a little sweetness with their savory dishes because it provides a warm autumn twist on the traditional pot pie.
Rib Meat and Mushroom Pot Pie
Try the Rib Meat and Mushroom Pot Pie version for a taste explosion. To add a deep, earthy flavor to the vegetable mixture, add sautéed mushrooms. Try adding beef broth to the filling for an umami boost. Add some fresh parsley on top just before serving to give your pot pie a robust mushroom infusion and a pop of color and freshness.
Rib Meat Shepherd’s Pie
Try a delicious Shepherd’s Pie with rib meat for a change of pace. Instead of using the traditional pie crust, this version uses a cozy layer of creamy mashed potatoes. Add a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and garlic to the mashed potatoes to make them more flavorful. This dish offers a thick and filling take on the classic pot pie, with a golden and slightly crispy mashed potato topping baked to perfection.
BBQ Rib Meat Pot Pie
Add the heavenly smokey BBQ flavors to your Rib Meat Pot Pie to make it even better. Try Urban Smokehouse Pork Baby Back Ribs seasoned with a smokey BBQ sauce for a delicious twist. Corn and sliced bell peppers should be added to the vegetable mixture to intensify the Southwestern flavor. Choose a golden, sweet cornbread topping in place of the usual pie crust to create a delicious dish with a hint of sweetness and spice inspired by barbeque.
