ROAST BEEF POT PIE
This Roast Beef Pot Pie is perfect for using up leftovers from the holidays or other special occasions. Never throw out leftover Roast Beef, Pot Roast, or Prime Rib again with this delicious and easy round two dinner recipe. You can even make these pies in bulk and freeze them for a quick weeknight dinner later on.
Roast Beef Pot Pie is a great recipe for a next-day dinner following a big meal. If you are ambitious, have it baking while you pack up the rest of your Thanksgiving or Christmas leftovers. The homemade gravy comes together quickly and we used frozen veggies in the filling so the only chopping you need to do is the potatoes and leftover beef.
This is the ultimate “use what you have on hand” recipe for Roast Beef Pot Pie! If you have Roasted Potatoes, use those instead cooking raw potatoes. You can substitute fresh veggies, just blanch them or steam them first so they don’t release liquid while they are cooking and they get tender. You can even swap out the pie crust for biscuits, puff pastry, or top like a Shepherd’s Pie with leftover Mashed Potatoes!

VARIATIONS ON ROAST BEEF POT PIE
- Turkey: Use leftover Roast Turkey and swap out the beef broth with chicken or turkey stock instead. You can skip making the gravy if you have 1-2 cups leftover Turkey Gravy.
- Meat: Other leftovers you can use are Brisket, Rotisserie Chicken, or Steak! If you want fresh meat, use1 pound ground beef or ground turkey, cooking first and draining before adding.
- Veggies: Any frozen veggies you have on hand will work in this pie, or you can use fresh veggies. Try spinach, kale, zucchini, or mushrooms. So they cook quickly, steam fresh veggies in the microwave for 2-3 minutes before adding.
- Potatoes: Use 2 cups diced red potatoes or yellow potatoes instead of russet potatoes. If you don’t like skin you can peel the russet potatoes before dicing. You can also use sweet potatoes, yams, or butternut squash cubes.
- Pie Crust: If you have them on hand, use sheets of puff pastry for an extra flaky pie crust! You could also use refrigerator biscuits on top and skip the bottom crust.

Have done this twice: first with left over pot roast, gravy, cooked carrots and potatoes. I softened the onion in the microwave and added a small can of corn and about 1/2 can cut green beans. Turned out to be quite good! I am single or I try to utilize food until it’s all gone.
The second was pretty much following your recipe, with the addition of Worcester sauce. I used low sodium broth (2 cups) fortified with 2 tsp of sodium-free beef bullion.
Excellent recipe! Will definitely make this again, gravy had a very nice flavour.
Made this for my family was delicious. Will try this recipe again.
I have left over toast beef that this would be perfect for. Question, do you blind bake the bottom crust first so it doesn’t get soggy?
Thanks, and look forward to trying this.
This was great. It does need some type of spice:: worchester sauce or something
Why has no one has been fortunate enough to try this recipe or review it!? Absolute FIVE stars from my family. I doubled the recipe and it actually made three pies. We used frozen Pillsbury crusts (I usually make my own), and the sweet flakiness really added to the flavor. We saved this on our Google hub recipe page, and we’ll be making it again and again!
Hi there!
Love this and planning on making it today with leftover picadillo (ground beef)- quick question: should I let the cooked potatoes and veggies cool before adding the cold leftover picadillo? And THEN put into the pie crust?
Thanks!!

Hi! Yes, I would let them cool first.
My mother made this all the time throughout the year, but her leftovers were the huge pot of stew she made first. She always made enough to feed a small platoon. We’d eat stew one night and then she’d make two big pies to eat later, plus there was still stew for lunch. There were only three of us.
How wonderful!
I have question. First you list 2 cups beef broth, then later you list 21/2 cups reduced sodium beef broth. So, do I use 41/2 cups in all? It’s a little confusing to me.
Not sure how that low sodium one got in there but you only need 2 cups of beef broth for this recipe. Thanks for letting me know there was an issue. I hope you enjoy it!
Hi Sabrina,
You list beef broth twice in the ingredients list. Should it be 2 cups or 2 1/2 cups?
Thanks!
Oops, not sure how that snuck in there. Thanks for letting me know. I’ve edited to read correctly now. You only need 2 cups of beef broth for this recipe. I hope you enjoy it!
Hello Sabrina, In the ingredients you list 2 cups of beef broth and 2-1/2 cups of reduced sodium beef broth which would equal 4-1/2 cups total. Is this correct; and is so, can you use one or the other? Will be making this tomorrow as a winter storm heads our way. Crave the comfort food. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday.
Sorry that these comments were stuck in my spam filter. You only need 2 cups of beef broth for this recipe. Hope you had a safe and happy holiday, Linda.
You list beef broth twice. Is it 2 cups or 2 1/2 cups? Thank you!!
It’s been corrected to only needing 2 cups of broth. Thanks for letting me know.
