    When it comes to comfort food, I am a sucker for pot pie. There's something about tender vegetables in a savory sauce and flaky pie crust or puff pastry that is so homey and fulfilling!

    I grew up eating my Mom's Chicken Pot Pie and it was always perfection. In fact, for years I wouldn't even try to make this recipe because Mom's was always better! Now I have experimented with all kinds of pot pie recipes (with this Beef Pot Pie being one of our family favorites) and pot pies really are just such a great way to use up leftovers.

    Speaking of leftovers, if you have ham leftover from Easter, you're going to love how easy it is to turn into this amazing ham pot pie! I used potatoes, carrots and frozen corn and peas to put together this hearty meal. You can use a ham steak, too.

    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about making pot pies with ham and puff pastry.

    How long is ham good for in the fridge?

    If you're making this pie using leftover freshly cooked ham, do so within 3-4 days.
    You might like to check out this food safety chart from the FDA with helpful info about leftover cooked meats.

    How long will pot pie last in the refrigerator?

    Leftover ham pot pie will last in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

    How do you reheat a pot pie?

    Microwaving the pot pie will result in soggy dough. Instead, follow these steps:
    1. Preheat oven to 300-degrees F.
    2. Cover the edges of the pot pie with foil to avoid burning crust.
    3. Cook for 15 minutes, then rotate the pie.
    4. Allow the pie to cook an additional 15 minutes or until heated through.

    How do you make this recipe ahead?

    The best way to make this recipe ahead of time is to prepare the filling but not assemble the dish until you are ready to bake it.
    1. Place the cooked and cooled creamy filling into a resealable freezer bag (don’t forget to label it!)
    2. The day before you want to make the pie, take the filling out of the freezer and place it into the refrigerator.
    3. Add the filling to the 9x13 pan and top with the dough.
    4. Bake at 425-degrees F for 20-25 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown.

    How long does puff pastry last?

    Uncooked puff pastry dough will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

    What makes puff pastry puff?

    Puff pastry is a really simple dough that is stretched and folded to form many layers. When the dough bakes, the layers puff up as moisture in the dough turns into steam giving it that amazing flaky texture everyone loves.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    Not only is this a great weeknight recipe, but it's also really great for brunch - especially since it will feed 9-12 people! It's definitely going to be a new family favorite!

    Serve along with Buttery Dinner Rolls or Butter Swim Biscuits for a hearty meal. Or pair with a light Fruit Salad with Orange Juice Dressing.

      Ohh man! YESSS this looks so good and is such a great idea. I honestly never would have thought of ham in a pie like this and we LOVE Wewalka Puff Pastry! I am serious that I bought SIX this morning and had two in the fridge still. I wish I could add a picture of them all perfectly lined up to prove it! haha

      I made this with leftover ham but I used puff pastry on top instead of pie crust. It was very good and there were no leftovers. Will make again.

      I used about 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies (carrots, corn, peas, green beans) to save time. I skipped the shredded cheese also.
      My family really enjoyed this.

      Wonderful recipe! First time attempting a pot pie and what a hit. Perfect way to use up leftover ham and the vegetables added help make it a bit healthier. It was not too complicated, which is a big plus for me.
      Served it with a spinach salad and the family loved it!

      Thank you!

      love that you include the amounts of the ingredients in the instructions too so I don't have to scroll back and forth when cooking.
      the pot pie came out so well. I also added mustard to the filling to cut the richness of the sauce and add something different
