Equipment
- Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker
- 8x8 Baking Pan
- Whisk
- Kitchen Shears or Knife
- Large Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 lb Pork Chops or Country Style Ribs
- 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- 1 tablespoon Basil
- ½ tablespoon Sea Salt
- ½ tablespoon Ground Ginger
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 can Sweet Peas
- 1 can Carrots
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoon Flour
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Can Crescent Rolls
Instructions
- Add the pork, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, sea salt ground ginger and water to the instant pot.
- Close the lid and cook on manual for 20 minutes if using frozen meat, 15 minutes if using thawed meat.
- Once the instant pot is done cooking let it sit for 10 minutes to do a natural release. Then release the rest of the pressure and open up the instant pot.
- Remove all of the pork from the instant pot and give it a good chop.
- Grab a thick potholder and take the inner pot out of the instant pot to allow you to pour all of the liquid into a separate bowl.
- Return the inner bowl to the instant pot and set it to saute and the high or more setting. Add in the butter and cook until it begins to foam. Now add in the flour and whisk it while cooking for 2-3 minutes. That is enough time to just cook the flour. We are making a blonde roux here, so no need to cook it for too long.
- Now add in the liquid you reserved in the separate bowl. Make sure you whisk it as it cooks. For Dad the amount of liquid and the roux made a pretty nice gravy. It seemed a little thin at first but as he simmered it thickened up nicely.
- Drain your can of peas and carrots. Put the veggies in the gravy. Add in the chopped pork and give everything a nice stir. Now is the time to add in the heavy cream. This will help give it a rich flavor and make it nice and creamy. At this point you need to taste the gravy to see if it needs any additional salt or pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Pour the pork mixture into an 8x8 baking pan.
- The last step is to put the crust on our pot pie. Dad uses some ready-made Hawaiian style crescent rolls. It only took one can to top the whole pie. Dad had to do a little tearing and reassembly to make it work but it was not hard.
- The final step in all of this is to bake in a 350-degree oven until the top becomes nice and golden brown. It took about 20 minutes in Dad's oven. That is it! You now have delicious homemade pork pot pie that went together easy as pie, had to.
