MENONITE COUNTRY OLD FASHIONED BEEF POT PIE BY FREDA
I first tasted this while going thru the Menonite/amish Country. This is as Close As I can get. Not sure why they call this a pot pie, Its more likea beef stew to me, with noodles. Seems every home, just as in our Homes cooks a bit differently but with very basic ingredients. Nothing they don't have on hand.

- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful the pot pie will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
- Season the pot pie generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the beef and vegetables.
- Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown: The pot pie should be baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
