I happen to like pot pie or shepards pie, but The Man isn’t much of a fan. I thought maybe I could put a Tex-Mex spin on it, he would like it. Turns out he really liked it! I made our version of it with extra liquid because The Man like to have extra juice to soak up with the bread. If you prefer it that way, just don’t drain the cans. He also wanted to add some cheese to it, so I had him just add it to his bowl. Then I don’t have to have the extra calories. If you aren’t a big chicken fan you could trade the chicken for steak, just make sure the steak is tender.
Ingredients
For the filling:
8-10 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
1 cup onions, chopped
1/4 cup garlic, minced
1 red pepper, chopped
1 can (14.5 oz) no salt added diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) chili beans in sauce
For the topping:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 jalapenos, diced (without seeds for less heat)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a large, oven safe skillet, cook the chicken, onions, and garlic together until the chicken starts to brown. Add the red pepper, drained tomatoes, can of sauce and chili beans, undrained. Let it heat all the way through, then set aside.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, jalapenos, and cheese. Cut in the butter until the dough looks like flour but will stick together if squeezed. Add the milk and mix well.
Spread the topping over the skillet. Bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes, or until the center of the topping is cooked all the way through.

Visiting you from Nanny to Mommy. I just printed this recipe. It’s hard to find the right “pie” to serve at my house also. This one seems like it might do the trick.
