Amish Wedding Supper Pie Version Two! Made with my Pretzel Stuffing!

                                                                         

This is Amish food pure 100% Amish eating at its' best! This is a variation of an Amish Wedding Supper that I put into a pie shell! Hearty rustic delicious!

Pie Crust:
2 Cups Flour
1/4 TSP Salt
2 TSP Sugar
1/3 Cup Cold Butter
1/3 Cup Shortening
4 to 5 TBS Cold Water
Stir all the dry ingredients together Cut in the butter & shortening to make fine crumbs. Now stir in enough cold water to make the dough come together. Divide into 2 even balls. Roll one out for the pie & freeze the other or use to make Cinnamon & Sugar Roly Polys. The crust for this pie needs to be large enough to fit a deep 9 inch pie plate. Line the plate with the dough & fill with the following.
PIE FILLING:
1&1/2 cups cold leftover stuffing/filling/dressing
1 Cup Leftover Cooked Vegetables
3 Cups Cooked Diced Leftover Chicken/ Turkey/or Roast Beef
1&1/2 Cups Cold Leftover Gravy
4 Cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes, I used my Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
First layer in your unbaked crust is the stuffing, spread evenly. Then spread 1/2 Cup of Gravy over the stuffing. In a bowl mix the leftover meat, vegetables & gravy together then spread that over the stuffing gravy layer. Now spread the mashed potatoes over the meat layer. These spread better if lightly warm, so just warm them in the microwave for about 1 minute on high. Now sprinkle whatever seasonings you like. I did Pepper, Parsley & Sage. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour & 20 minutes! AMISH EATING IS YUMMY! 

Pretzel Stuffing A very PA Dutch idea!


Pretzel Stuffing? Why not? In Lancaster Pennsylvania we love our pretzels! Bread was hard to cone by with the COVID19 crisis so I thought, hmmm I wonder if pretzels would make good stuffing? Yes they did! ENJOY!

4 Cups of Utz Sourdough Nuggets broken into coarse large crumbs
6 TBS Melted Butter
3 Ribs Celery chopped
1 Large Onion Chopped
3 TBS Chopped Parsley fresh or dried
2 TSP Ground Sage
2 TSP Onion Powder
2 TSP Garlic Chopped
1 TSP Pepper I use White Pepper
3 Large Eggs Beaten
1 Cup Milk
Melt the butter in saucepan or in a large bowl in the microwave I use 45 seconds in the microwave. Add the chopped veggies & all the seasonings & cook until tender. I microwave I cooked them on high for 3 minutes, stirred & cooked another 3 minutes. Dump into the bowl or saucepan the broken pretzels, now stir in the eggs & milk. Let sit for about 20 minutes & then stir again. Now stuff the bird or butter a casserole dish. Roast chicken as you normal would. I roast mine at 350 degrees uncovered 1 hour with about 1&1/2 cups water in the bottom of the pan,then covered 1 hour uncover & cook another 15 minutes. If making stuffing in the buttered casserole dish bake 45 minutes covered at 350 degrees then uncover & bake another 15 minutes! Great slathered with gravy! If making a large bird like a turkey double this recipe! The gravy was amazing too Thank you UTZ for making a great pretzel!
