How much does this pot pie recipe make?

If you make the recipe as is, it will make about 8 of the ramekins. However, if you add more or fewer toppings, that will also determine how many you can make.

Just know, for every pie crust, you will get about 4 tops for the ramekins, so depending on how many you need, make sure you have enough refrigerated pie crust.

How to store leftovers:

Store the pot pie center in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or you can save the remaining filling in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Pot Pies:

Step 1: Make the meat and veggies

Start by browning the meat in a large saucepan. While the meat cooks, in a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp oil.

Add 1 tsp minced garlic, and sautee slightly. Then add the bell pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Saute until tender.

Remove any excess oil from the meat.

Step 2: Make the filling

Combine the meat and vegetables all together in one pan.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the pizza sauce, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, and salt and pepper. Stir until everything is melted and combined. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Prepare the ramekins

Take the ramekins and flip the tops to make contact with the pie crust. Then, cut the pie crust into 4 circles slightly wider than the rim of the ramekins.

Fill each ramekin almost completely full with the pizza filling. I filled it to the little divet in the ramekin.

Place the crust over the filled ramekins and seal to the edge with a fork. Cut an X in the center of each crust.

Step 4: Bake the pizza pot pies

Place the ramekins in the air fryer. Air fry at 350 degrees F or 177 degrees C for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is slightly golden.

For each ramekin, sprinkle on a little mozzarella cheese, then add 3-4 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Add a little more cheese to prevent the pepperoni from flying around.

Cook for an additional 2 or so minutes, or until cheese is melted to your liking.

Let cool slightly, and enjoy!
