Pot Pie in a Pinch   Leave a comment

It’s the night before Thanksgiving. I’m leaving tomorrow morning, 6 am, to spend the 4 day holiday visiting family.

So I didn’t go shopping this week.  I didn’t bother to get anything at the grocery because I would be gone.  Now here it is, the night before, I’m starving and I don’t want to start the “non-stop nibbling” (that I know I will do during my entire stay).

So I scrounge through my cabinets and find a can of veg-all and a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup.  I still had a few slices of bread and a piece of chicken.  Perfect!  I can make a Pot Pie in my Toas-Tite sandwich grill.

Ingredients:

2 tsp. of condensed cream of mushroom soup

4 tsp. of veg-all

cooked chicken

2 slices of white bread

salt and pepper to taste

Mix the soup and veg-all together.  Spray the inside of the two, Toas-Tite clam shells with cooking spray.  Place a slice of bread on the Toas-Tite grill and spoon the mixture on to a slice of bread.

Place the other piece of bread on top and close the Toas-Tite.  Remove excess bread and cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes.  Turn over for an extra 1-2 minutes.

Presto!  A great little sandwich!  Think about what else you can make with what you have.
