Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked meat (chicken, turkey, beef, or ham)
• 1.5 cups chopped cooked vegetables (carrots, peas, broccoli, etc.)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon optional herbs or spices (e.g., thyme, paprika, or garlic powder)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish.

Step 2

In the prepared dish, layer the shredded cooked meat and chopped vegetables evenly.

Step 3

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat and vegetables.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the filling in the dish, ensuring it covers the ingredients well.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To test doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

For OAMC (Once-A-Month-Cooking) preparation, allow the pie to cool completely after baking. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil, then label and freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 9

To reheat a frozen pie, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
