Make leftover egg, cheese, and greens casserole into a tasty pie using a saltine cracker crust. You can use the leftover dough to make delicious crackers.
Watch out; the crackers are addictive! Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
I am repurposing leftover casserole.
I added some leftover beef steak.
Break up the casserole and add to your filling. You can also add extra cheese.
The dough is ready to rock and roll.
Lightly mix dry and wet ingredients until you can't, and use your hands to form a ball. Add flour if the mixture is too sticky.
Cut the lard into the dry ingredients until you have a fine grainy texture. I use lard because it's healthier for the body compared to vegetable fat which is toxic because of the toxic chemicals used to extract the oil or fat.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups of white flour
- 3/4 cup of lard
- 1 1⁄3 cups milk
- 1 American teaspoon baking powder
- 1 American teaspoon of salt
DIRECTIONS
- Thoroughly incorporate dry ingredients
- Cut in lard until you have a fine grainy mix
- Add 1 cup of milk because I found 1 1/3 cup makes a sticky mess or put some extra flour aside. Add your 1 1/3 cup of milk if the dough is sticky; lightly add flour until the dough is firm enough to use a rolling pin. Don't mix or knead too much, or the dough will become gluttonized and too stretchy.
- Divide dough into the size pie you want. You will want about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Add your pie filling
- Wet the edges of the dough, fold over filling and pinch closed using a fork or your fingers
- Place on a cookie sheet, I line mine with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. The more ingredients you have, the longer you want to bake the pies.
