Having A Ladle Of This Made Me Feel Loved and Cared For.

I had been in Northern California for over a month with our three youngest kids. Our son was given an intern at the small airport where his Civil Air Patrol met and it just worked out for me to pack up the kids and go for the whole summer.

At the end of summer we returned from the small cabin we had rented in the Sierra Mountains back to Southern California. Ii was over eight hours of driving in our very crowded Camry. To simply state that we were tired would be like saying the Olsen Twins are thin.

After we got over the Grapevine we were going to stop at my brother’s home. He was expecting us.

I was looking forward to seeing him and I think all four of us were anxious to get out of the car. But, I totally did not expect to be wrapped in the aroma of what he had simmering on the stove when I walked in the door.

I felt so loved and comforted from my head to my flip-flip wearing toes. “What is that?” I asked hi after a hug.
“Meat and Peas,” He responded. It still needs another hour and then it will be ready.”

So worth waiting for.

This is what Katerina of Diethood has to say about this amazing recipe.

Even though this recipe is ridiculously easy, and each one of you probably has their own version of it, it’s all the random flavors that totally make it. Beef, peas, tomatoes, onions… the combination is SO GOOD!

Quick Tip: I actually cook several strips of bacon in the ditch oven until crisp. Remove to paper towel and use drippings to braise the meat in. Right before serving I crumble the bacon and add to top.

Nothing screams WELCOME HOME like Southern Style Comfort Food. Come and Get It!

When I saw that Becky mentioned being obsessed with this recipe I though she was kidding, but after making it for dinner I can see the serious attraction.

This meal has EVERYTHING. Chicken, vegetables and it is all wrapped up in a flaky crust. Pretty much sums up the perfect kind of a comfort food. Just the kind your family will love coming home to after a day at school or work.

In fact this is the kind of recipe that they might even ask for when they come home to visit.

I know I am trying to pull together recipes for our older kids as part of my Christmas gift to each of them..and this recipe is going in the Pie Baking Basket.  Ssshh..it is a surprise!

I know it is a bit too early to be thinking that far in advance, but when you come across a great idea and have amazing recipes to make it spectacular you might as well jump in right? Besides..comfort food? Yeah, I think the whole world could use a bit of that every now and then.

The other great thing about a recipe like this is that you can really cater to your families preferences. Like it a bit on the spicy side? Add in some diced fire roasted hatch chilies! Like it mild, that totally works as well.

And the left overs? if you have any ..will be even better the second day which is hard to imagine since you will be tempted to lick the plate with this easy to pull together recipe.

This is what Becky of The Cookie Rookie has to say about this Southern Classic Comfort food.

This crazy good CHICKEN POT PIE CASSEROLE is the ultimate easy comfort food! Homey, delicious, fun, and SO COMFORTING. Don’t you want to just dive in?!

Quick Tip: Don’t have time to make the pie crust from scratch? You can always buy the pre-made crust in the freezer section of the grocery store and when you have time to make this..you have it on hand..in fact, why not go ahead and buy a few to keep in hand..you never know when you might just want to whip this up!
