Cowboy's Shepherds Pot Pie

This may be one of our favorite pot pie recipes. Influenced by both shepherd's pie and chicken pot pie, Cowboy's Shepherds Pot Pie combines the best of both worlds. Made with a delicious flaky bottom crust and a creamy meat and vegetable filled center, it is then topped with mashed potatoes to cover it all up. Plus, it is influenced by the flavors of the southwest to make it a little zesty and extra delicious. You don't want to pass this one up.
