Prep
- Mom didn't select this meal, but after a special Mother's Day breakfast out, I wanted something simple and quick to make but flavorful
- The recipe is from The America's Test Kitchen Quick Family Cookbook, p. 109
- Total time to prepare was about an hour
- You might think of this as a big beef pot pie
- The recipe uses many prepared ingredients: deli roast beef, canned black beans, frozen corn, refrigerator pie dough, bottled barbecue sauce
- The fresh vegetables (onion, red bell pepper, garlic) are cooked in the microwave before being added to the other ingredients for baking
- I used Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Sauce which is less sweet than my usual Red Bull
- I had the roast beef sliced to a medium thickness and I bought a little extra to have in sandwiches
- The cookbook has a cow girl pie variation that is made with chicken instead of beef
Eat
- The Cowboy Pie was just OK, nothing great
- The sauce was a little runny, maybe the Dinosaur sauce is thinner than other bottled barbecue sauces?
- It was a little spicy from the chili powder
- The pie was served with a fresh fruit salad including pineapple, black berries, apple, grapes, strawberries; we drank Pinot Noir with this dinner
- TBD
