Comfort foods are always in style, and an all-time favorite is the good ol' pot pie. Making it from scratch, however, takes time. Enter Recipe Development Director Mary Allen Perry (think of her as your personal culinary superhero). She's taken labor-intensive crusts and replaced them with a variety of batters that are quickly stirred together and poured over a hearty mixture of meat and vegetables for the ultimate in ease and Southern flavor. Mary Allen has even perfected a method for dessert cobblers.

Cook's Notes

• To ensure even cooking, fillings should be hot before crust batters are added.
• All the fillings can be made ahead. Simply reheat, and add crust batters.
• Feel free to mix-and-match these crust batters and fillings, or try them with your favorite pot pie-filling recipe.
• Seasoning blends may be convenient to use, but salt content between brands can vary dramatically. Choose a blend that best suits your needs. For our Ham-and-Greens Pot Pie With Cornbread Crust, we used salt-free blends.
