How to make a ham pot pie with leftover ham:
- Line a 9 inch pie plate with a pie crust. Set aside.
- Melt 2 Tbs. Butter in a pot. Saute' the carrots and onions just until the onions are cooked through.
- Add ⅛ cup of flour and stir to make a paste. Add 2 cups of chicken broth a little at a time, mixing well after each addition until all the broth is incorporated.
- Stir in the potato cubes and simmer until the potatoes are mostly done. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated cheese and ham. Stir until smooth.
- If you wanted to add some frozen peas, you could do so at this point. I personally like peas, I do not however like having to pick out peas from my kids dinners. So I didn't add them.
- Pour the pot pie filling into the prepared pie plate.
- Top with a top crust and cut a few slits in the top for the steam to escape from. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The pie crust should be lightly browned. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

This turned out excellent. I was concerned that my honey baked ham would not work well, but I used a sharp cheddar and it balanced out perfectly. Thank you!
