Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
  • Store the biscuits in a separate container at room temperature
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the slow cooker on high, on the stovetop over medium heat, or in the microwave
  • Leftovers can be frozen for up to three months in an airtight container
  • Allow the pot pie to cool completely before freezing to avoid condensation, which will create extra moisture once thawed
  • Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating
