Pot Pie Purses

Many years ago in the land of  OMG, I have to cook and I do not know how, I had two cookbooks, one was a Betty Crocker (1960's edition) and a  McCall's blue cookbook.  Out of the two, Betty Crocker was my go to.  I used that cookbook for everything.  It became a file cook book because I would file away recipes that I wanted to keep.  That book saw six moves but on the seventh move it vanished.  I do not know where I went but maybe it just disintegrated from use.

One day, not long ago, my daughter called and said she was at a yard sale and wanted to know if I was interested in some cookbooks that were there and they also had two Betty Crocker cookbooks for sale at a different price.  I told her to go ahead and get them and I would be more than happy to reimburse her.  When she gave them to me, you could not believe how excited I was to find that this was a copy of my long lost one. 

 

 



I made the Chicken Dinner Pie recipe ( p. 307)  .  It is made with a white sauce with light cream and chicken broth.   flavored with salt, pepper, dried onion  and thyme.  Then cooked chicken and a canned of mixed vegetable are added. You could used cooked frozen mixed veggies.  It is hard to believe that this is so good.

After I made the filling, I had to decide how to present it since my grandson is picky about what his food looks like.  I finally decided on crescent rolls.  I unrolled them, made square using two triangle to do so.  Then I brought up the corners twisting the tops and pinching the sides to make the purses.

  

I used two tubes of crescent rolls and had some filling left.  Baked them for 15 minutes.  Everyone loved them.
