Simple Tuna Pot Pie image

Oh, I love these individual tuna pot pies! I found these on the back of a Chicken of the Sea Tuna pouch, and I am glad I did. Recipe is very easily halved into 2 pot pies. Also, with my changes (The ones in parentheses) these come out to 200 calories per pot pie. Also, if you want a crust or lattice top piece, simply crisscross crescent roll dough on top of pies before baking.

Time 23m

Yield 4 individual pot pies, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 cup frozen vegetables, NOT defrosted (personally, I use about 2 cups, and whatever I have in the freezer with success)
1 cup milk (I use skim)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use 0.5 cup 2% sharp, and it's good and cheesy)
1 (7 ounce) envelope solid white tuna packed in water or 1 (12 ounce) can chunk light tuna, drained and flaked
1 (8 ounce) can crescent roll dough (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In medium saucepan, combine water, vegetables, and bouillon cube. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 2 minutes longer.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in milk, stir into vegetable saucepan and cook until thickened (maybe a little less than 2 minutes.) Stir in tuna and cheese.
  • Spoon mixture into 4 (3/4 cup to 1.5 cup) individual pie pans or casserole dishes.
  • Optional step: Separate crescent roll dough into 4 rectangles, cut each rectangle into six strips. Attach crust by crisscrossing six dough strips over each pot pie and pressing down firmly; trim excess dough.
  • Bakes pies at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
