For this leftover roast beef pot pie, we use leftover prime rib and phyllo dough to make a juicy, tasty family meal, in the form of a warm and savory pot pie.
Ever wondered what to do with leftover prime rib? Use it in our leftover roast beef phyllo pot pie!
Like most households at holiday time, ours is very busy. Between kids coming home from college and family visiting from other states, there is always a lot going on, especially in the kitchen.
To say there was no shortage of food would be a bit of an understatement. When there is this much food in our household, there are often leftovers.
Leftover Prime Rib Phyllo Pot Pie
These were the circumstance that we found ourselves facing, following our big Prime Rib dinner from Christmas day. We also had a package of leftover phyllo dough from one of last week’s television segments that we shot in Green Bay.
How could I use both of these tasty foods together? It didn’t take long to come up with a solution.
I found the perfect use for any leftover roast beef.

Christmas is a special time for many families. For us, our oldest was home from his freshman year of college, and we were all together once again for a few days.
Our guys love prime rib, and although it’s not something we make often, this seemed like an appropriate occasion.
