Biscuit Topped Slow Cooker Pot Pie

by

Because this recipe isn’t placed in a pie crust, I guess the name of the recipe is a little misleading, but this recipe is so good I had to post it. Unlike most slow cooker recipes, that are almost always real simple, this one does require a little more work because it goes from the slow cooker into the oven, and the biscuits are par cooked before they go on top of the filling. The end result is a delicious buttermilk biscuit topped pot pie. Biscuit Topped Slow Cooker Pot Pie Author: Larry 3.4.3177 Adapted from Cooks Country
