It’s almost Thanksgiving, so I’m sharing my Veggie Pot Pies with you! My family is mostly vegetarian, so our Thanksgiving meals usually consist of the non-traditional foods. I know that “chicken pot pie” is a staple Fall / Thanksgiving recipe, so I wanted to share a vegetarian version with you all! 

Veggie Pot Pie Ingredients

Just because we aren’t using chicken, doesn’t mean this pot pie has to be boring! I’m using almost all of the same flavors you would see in a regular pot pie, but enhancing them 😉 You know me, and you know I love my spice. I added some Thai chili peppers to bring it up a notch, and a WHOLE lot of veggies. You can totally add more or less, but in here we are using onion, carrot, celery, potato, corn, green beans, and peas!

Making Mini Portions

Like I mentioned before, I think this is a super cute idea for Thanksgiving. Instead of making a large pie, I love to make mini portions in ramekins, so everyone has their own to dig into! They look so cute on the dinner table, and it’s actually way less messy! You can also personalize them, in case you have some picky eaters in the family 😉

Adding Protein to the Recipe

Now, if you eat chicken, feel free to add the chicken in when cooking the filling. However, if you want to keep this vegetarian and add protein, you can always add plant-based meat! There are a lot of brands that have plant-based items, which would taste delicious in this recipe. Take a look at my blogpost on Vegan Food Substitutes, which have a lot of brands that have a variety of products!
