01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 3 tablespoons butter 2 cups sliced mushrooms 1 cup chopped leeks 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups vegetable broth salt and ground black pepper to taste ¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce 2 ¼ cups biscuit baking mix ¾ cup milk

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s warming up, put the parsnips, carrots, and sweet potato in a big pot and cover them with salted water. Bring everything to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the veggies simmer until they’re nice and tender—about 10 minutes. Drain them well and let them sit for a minute to steam dry.

Step 2

Next, melt some butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and leeks, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and cooked through, which should take around 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir it around until it turns into a thick paste and gets a light golden color—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, then stir in the thyme, salt, pepper, and a splash of hot sauce if you like a little kick. Toss in the cooked veggies and mix everything together.

Step 3

Pour the veggie mixture into a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan. For the topping, mix the biscuit mix with milk in a bowl until you have a thick batter. Drop generous spoonfuls of the batter over the filling, but don’t worry about covering it completely. Pop the pot pie into the oven and bake until the topping is golden and bubbly, about 18 to 20 minutes. Let it cool slightly before digging in!

Why you’ll love it

This dish is comforting and packed with a variety of fresh vegetables. It’s a great way to enjoy a hearty meal that feels homemade and satisfying. The flaky crust pairs perfectly with the savory filling, making it a crowd-pleaser for any season.

Serving ideas

Serve warm with a simple green salad or steamed greens on the side. A dollop of tangy yogurt or sour cream can add a nice contrast. It also pairs well with a light soup for a complete meal.

Storage & leftovers

Allow the dish to cool completely before covering and refrigerating. It keeps well for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in the oven to keep the crust crisp, or microwave for a quicker option but expect a softer crust.
