Enhance the Filling:

Add more meat: Brown additional chuck roast or ground beef and add it to the filling for a richer flavor.
Incorporate vegetables: Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to create a flavorful vegetable base.
Use flavorful broth: Choose a beef or vegetable broth with a robust flavor to add depth to the filling.
Add herbs and spices: Season the filling with thyme, rosemary, sage, or a pre-mixed pot roast seasoning blend.
Slow-cook the filling: Allow the filling to simmer for several hours, or even overnight, to develop maximum flavor.

Elevate the Crust:

Use puff pastry: Replace the traditional pastry crust with flaky puff pastry for a light and airy topping.
Add a cheese topping: Sprinkle grated Parmesan, Gruyere, or cheddar cheese on top of the crust before baking to create a golden brown, cheesy crown.
Create a lattice crust: Instead of a solid crust, weave strips of pastry together to create a decorative lattice top that allows steam to escape.
Brush with egg wash: Brush the crust with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) before baking to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.

Additional Twists:

Add dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top of the filling before baking to create fluffy, savory dumplings.
Incorporate a creamy sauce: Stir in a smooth béchamel or cream sauce to create a decadent, velvety filling.
Add roasted potatoes or carrots: Toss small potatoes or carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast them until tender and add them to the pot pies.
Serve with a crusty bread or mashed potatoes: Offer a side of crusty bread or pillowy mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful broth.
