The roots of this traditional Southern classic go back a long way. Recipes for poultry or beef baked in a pastry crust can be traced back to Medieval times in the British Isles..
The term “pot pie” originally referred to the cooking method (cooked in a pot) rather than to the dish itself, and first appeared in American cookbooks in the late 1700s.
