PREP: 30 MIN. • BAKE: 50 MIN. • MAKES: 12 SERVINGS


4 cups cubed cooked chicken

4 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed

1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of onion soup, undiluted

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

2/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3 slices rye bread

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1. In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place bread in a food processor; cover and process to make crumbs. Sprinkle over chicken mixture. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly.

2. Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry sheet. Using a small floured ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 12 ghosts. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Remove potpie from the oven; set aside and keep warm.

3. Bake ghosts at 400° for 10 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. Top each serving with a ghost; serve immediately.
