Homemade pot pies are one of my favorite meals of all time. They are both delicious and filling while giving you a feeling of down-home comfort. And, you may be thinking they are hard to make, but you would be wrong! Actually, they are super easy and what can be more fun than these Beef & Vegetable Mini Pot Pies?! There is something about mini-sized versions that make them that much more delicious! Am I right?
