Only time we have pot pie is when i make homemade. Did one the weekend after Thanksgiving. Great way to use up leftover turkey.
Its a little time consuming to make it, but its definitely worth it!

Frozen yes. I’ve tried to make home made a couple times in a 10 inch cast iron skillet and I still like the frozen ones better.

After Macy's bought Marshall Field's and they changed the recipes, I was sorely disappointed into their pot pie offerings now and when she wanted my honest opinion, frankly said I would have been just as satisfied with a Marie Calender. Lifelong employee and I were both crushed. I gave the next year another chance. Haven't been back.

 

[Ballstater98]

I didn't like the Marie Calender.

Blasphemy! At least they have crust all the way round.

I didn't even get out of bed to do any of the things I had planned. So making pot pie was out of the question.

 

[actaeon277]

Any other suggestions.

They stopped putting crust on the bottom. I like the crust.

It’s not a pot pie if they do not have crust at the bottom.

I've been pleased with Meijer brand offerings on multiple products. Cheaper and good or better quality. May want to give that a roll. One out of many was a no, and I think it was a salsa. All their chips, salad dressings, etc. GTG

Then you may not want Swanson any more.

I was thinking too, that's just weird. Plate O' goo.

Right?!!!

 

[lonehoosier]

All the recipes that I’ve seen call from Crescent rolls on the top but nothing on the bottom, which is just weird.

Want some cherry pie, well, grab your spork and belly up to the pie pan thinking.

 

[actaeon277]

They may have changed it because some people don't like the "gluey" crusts on the bottom.
(I like the bottom crust).
It can't be because of costs, or can it?

When I was a kid my mom kept a freezer full of Banquet pot pies. I would sometimes get one after school.

I have tried Marie Calendar's and they S***.

Here is my wife's, don't get any on your face or your tongue will slap you to death.

4 Aldi deep dish pie crusts
1 rotisserie chicken deboned and cut up
2 cans mixed veg
2 cans cream of chicken
2 cans potato soup
2 tbl butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix and heat ingredients in pot on range top.

Fill 2 pie crusts with heated mixture and use other two for top crust. make slits in top to release steam.

Put one in the oven at 350 about 30 - 45 minutes until crust is the color you like.

Wrap the second on plastic wrap and freeze until the next time.

I don't like any of the Banquet line.
They're cheap for a reason.

I've done this with frozen mixed veg and cream of chicken soup. Frozen veg taste fresher and don't have as much sodium. Haven't used the potato soup.

It's also good to mix up the chicken/veg/soup and put it in a greased casserole, and then drop bisquick biscuit dough all over the top and bake it. You could use tube biscuits also.

I must be spoiled. The wife makes everything from scratch. Lord help me if I bring home a frozen xyz. I only do it to crank her up or make a point.

I don't have that option.
