Food is getting so expensive, so we are all looking for ways to make cheaper meals. Canned tuna is very affordable, making this tuna pot pie a great meal to try. It’s creamy, delicious, and very satisfying. It’s an easy meal to make with canned tuna.
I love easy dinner ideas and using canned meat can cut the prep time for a meal way down. It’s great to use in a pinch. And if you really hate tuna, try it with canned chicken. Or try these other pot pie ideas:
What can I say, I just love freaking pot pies! This tuna one is no different.
Another thing that makes this tuna pot pie super easy to make is using biscuits for the top! You can even use frozen biscuits to save more time, but if you want grandma’s homemade biscuit recipe, check this out. (or these easy 3 ingredient biscuits if you’re in a time crunch)
I love biscuit topped pot pies. But I’m not a big fan of pie crust. This is just better and homier to me. I would not recommend using canned biscuits, they are full of chemicals and just not as good as frozen. I don’t know how the cooking time would effect them. And way not as good at homemade. So go with frozen if you’re taking the easy route. You won’t be sorry.
And the last thing that makes this tuna pot pie a cinch is using a bag of frozen peas and carrots for the filling! I mean, not having to prep the tuna or the veggies is a game changer! I love comfort food recipes, and this tuna pot pie is a winner for sure! Knowing what to eat to save money is not as complicated as you might think.

I want to try this soon. I used to make one almost like this years ago, but dipped my biscuits in butter and parmesan cheese before baking. My mouth still waters thinking about it.
