Air Fryer Banquet Beef Pot Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen Banquet Beef Pot Pie
Optional:
- Cooking spray or melted butter
- Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water) – for an extra shiny crust
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
- Prepare the pot pie (optional): You can cook the pot pie frozen or thawed slightly. If you prefer a slightly thawed pot pie, microwave it for 30-60 seconds on defrost.
- Lightly spray or brush the pot pie crust with cooking spray or melted butter for an extra crispy crust (optional). You can also use an egg wash for a shinier finish.
- Place the pot pie in the air fryer basket. Make sure there’s enough space for air to circulate around the pot pie.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot!
Tips:
- If your air fryer is small, you might need to cook the pot pie in batches.
- For an even crispier crust, you can flip the pot pie halfway through cooking (be careful, it will be hot!).
- You can also add a few tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket to prevent the filling from drying out.
