For this pot pie i made the whole thing in one big stainless steel pan that can go right into the oven. If you don’t have a pan like this (or cast iron) do not fret, you can just transfer it into a greased baking dish to bake.
I found this great vegan puff pastry from aussie bakery out of Washington. My whole foods market carries it. If you can’t get a hold of this you can do a few different things; you can use Cresent rolls (many are vegan, immaculate brand to name one), you can use filo paper, or make drop biscuits, or thinly slice potatoes for the top, or just omit all together, and eat the filling, like my 6 year old does!
