Don’t these look amazing? I bet your mouth is watering like mine! Well, these are beef pot pies, beef tarts, whatever you want to call them. But what is fantastic is that it takes very little meat to make a filling meal. So these are best made with left over pot roast, steak, roast beef, etc.

Since our family is growing and everyone is getting bigger, I don’t have as much leftover pot roast to do a lot with like I use to. So I have to get creative in how I spread the remaining for a second full meal.  I make Cowboy Chili, Beef and Potato Enchiladas and this…Beef Pot Pie Tarts. Each requires a cup or less of beef and works perfectly for a full, filling, second meal from one roast. If your family eats even less, consider only using 1/2 cup of leftover roast for this recipe and use the rest in Cowboy Chili for lunch, dinner or the freezer for the future. I try to get at least one extra full meal out of a roast.

Not only does this recipe only use 1/2 cup of roast, it is filling, super tasty, a beautiful presentation and a memorable dining experience.

And if you don’t have leftover roast, you can honestly make this with ground beef too! Just use a 1/2 lb or less of raw and the rest in a cowboy chili to get two hearty, tasty meals from one lb. of ground beef.

    Have you ever tried freezing these after they are assembled and before baking? I think these would make a great after-school snack. Or do you think baking first and then freezing would work best, just reheating before serving? Thank you for the idea. I always have a small amount of roast beef left that I save for a sandwich that I always seem to forget is in the fridge.

      Yes, you could freeze either way. They will obviously take more time to bake if you freeze before baking. Really, you just need the tarts to cook and brown and the entire mixture to be hot. Thankfully, the meat will already be cooked either way, which is the main concern when freezing foods to reheat from frozen. But both work great and whenever you have leftover pot roast, these are a great freezer meal option and always have your freezer full for those quick needs. 🙂

    Where did you buy the tart shells with the little baking pans?
