We watched ThrowDown with Bobby Flay the other day and this sweet potato pot pie looked so yummy.

Darn, I’m not impressed with the second picture so I hope you will imagine how perfect and yummy it was.

My husband loves pot pie, but I don’t make it because I always hate everything sitting in a nasty gravy and that soggy crust. These pot pies looked much more up my alley. We tried the Casserole Queens‘ filling and Bobby Flay’s biscuit crust. I baked the biscuits right on top and they baked through perfectly, but you could do it like the recipe says and bake it separate.
