Mexican pot pie is a perfect dish to serve for Thanksgiving this year. The spicy luscious sauce/ filling will make you want to swim in it. All the bold mexican flavors packed in a bowl topped with a pie crust! I mean who wouldn’t be down for that. Serve individually or make it in a pie pan either way it will be a crowd pleaser! I use pillsbury brand pie dough. I have listed some suggestions to help you with the recipe below.

Suggestions:

• You can make the filling up to 2 days before.
• You can top it off with the pillsbury biscuit or cresent dough instead of the pie.
• Serve it with hot sauce and sour cream.
• You can also make a simple pico de gayo to add something fresh on top of the dish.
• Add cooked rice to the mixture and cut down the beans to 1 can, to make it a whole meal.
• You can make this in a pie pan as well, coating both bottom and top with the pie crust.

Stay happy, Stay hungry!
