Easy Pot Pie or Leftover Casserole for One-Birdy
1 serving of creamed chicken, meat in gravy, or other pot-pie type filling
3/8 cup of a complete biscuit mix requiring only water (or regular Bisquick)
1/4 cup water (or milk if using Bisquick)
Heat oven or toaster oven to 400F.
Heat casserole filling until very hot, either on top of stove or in microwave in a casserole dish.
While the mixture heats prepare the topping by mixing 3/8 cup of biscuit mix and 1/4 cup of water (or milk if using Bisquick). The dough will be very soft, pretty much a batter.
Turn the boiling casserole filling into a well-oiled small casserole if it was heated on the stove. Spread the biscuit dough on top of the hot mixture.

Bake at 400° for about 20 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown on top.

Birdy-
This makes enough topping for one serving in a 2 1/4-cup French white casserole. It's easily doubled for two by using a 1-quart casserole. You could also continue multiplying it for more servings in a larger baking dish.
For the filling for my pot pie, I used 4 oz. of cooked chicken cut up, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup or so of leftover gravy, and a few tablespoons each of diced onion, celery, and carrots cooked until almost tender in the microwave. I sliced 5 fresh sugar snap peas in half on the diagonal and added them to the filling just before topping and baking so they wouldn't be overcooked. You could easily add thawed or canned mixed vegetables instead.
Actually, your filling could be anything you like. Make a simple white sauce, add your meat and veggies, and go from there. Or use canned gravy. Or part of a can of condensed cream soup left over from another recipe. The important thing is to make sure the filling is very hot when you put on the topping.
I haven't tried it yet, but think this would also be very good made with the Bisquick Complete Cheese and Garlic mix--maybe with a filling made with white sauce, ham and veggies? You could use up almost any leftover meat, poultry, or just veggies this way.
