Thank you! Someone has FINALLY summed up the whole situation! Most of the assholes who rave about "the evils" of Gluten have NO idea what it is. You could tell them it is dog shit stirred in the gravy and they would believe it. NO: they would lap it up! Thanks again!
16 oz ohhhhh now that’s forward thinking. I don’t think I ever finished a pot pie thing that was enough. Most of the time, like my dog, I’m licking the bowl across the table top ( I know I know the dogs bowl is on the floor bad parody)
I remember my mom making us Banquet pies back in the 60's and they were really good then. All food brands have lost their quality, compared to 50 years ago. Fast foods included.
These companies are using cheaper items, in these products and they are not as good, for example, using cheap margarines instead of butter, leaving sugar out of many cereals, etc and the list goes on
As a newlywed, I kept two pot pies in the freezer. If I wanted to eat out, Id tell my husband we were having pot pies for supper. He refused to eat them. Hello restaurant!
I am glad you rated the Boston Market pot pie. I found this in my market and decided to try it, brought it home and was delighted to find that it was really good. I will buy it again!!
Kfc pot pies are so good that I eat 2 of them with a Pepsi and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert , pot pies are my favorite food and make me feel comforted !!!!! Which is why I can’t lose weight !!!!!
Eating 2 at one time is a big flash as to why you may not be able to lose weight. As one pot pie lover to another, controlling portion size helps to lose weight. Its not about calories. Its about portion-control
It's because they have weak minds and were brainwashed into being a vegan. They really want meat. But are too stupid to realize that a little meat is very healthy for an overall diet.
Back in 1968 when I was 10 years old my mom would shop at Winn Dixie every 2 weeks. Banquet pot pies were 4 for a $1.00 every day price and some times on sale 6 for a $1.00. How the times have changed.
yep---they sure have gotten pricy---$1.29 at my supermarket. I will try to save up and then treat myself. I also try to serve them on Christmas day if possible but we usually split them into 4ths because of that excessive price.
Sometimes I will throw a few banquets in the basket for backup. Had one this week, taste good, almost zero nutrition, so I counted the $1.29 gave me 4 peas, why because peas are cheap and could add nutritional fillers to rave reviews--if you seriously like them for kids sometimes, have a bag of frozen peas handy and at mid-bake, fork split the top and spoon in some, comes out great.
I just had one of these tonight for supper. I have NO complaints ! Crust ? Tender, flaky and briwned top and bottom. Veggies ? Plenty of everything. Gravy/sauce ? Not to thin and not to rhick....ideal. Will I buy this again ? As soon as I can get to the stoe. Thank you Marie Callenders for making a VERY good product.
My Grandma was just saying she used to enjoy eating Horn and Hardart's beef and chicken pies years ago. But that company went out of business a long time ago she said. Does anyone else remember these pies that Grandma is talking about?
I liked the Swanson and Banquet ones as a kid as a grown-up I make them myself. Leftover chicken, pork, turkey or beef from a Sunday roast or grilling is best. In a pinch use a rotisserie chicken. I make the gravy from my own stock but purchased can work too. I admit I use Aldi's Belmont frozen crust. It's tender flaky and so easy. I add a frozen mixed veggies pre cooked potatoes salt pepper Dill Parsley to taste. Frozen ones will taste like cardboard in comparison 😋
I grew up with banquet chicken and beef pot pies and they were more filled than todays pot pies. I tried some 10 yrs ago and I was disappointed. I don't buy them anymore.
Having grown up eating Banquet pot pies since the 1960s, I can honestly say they are the best for the money. I have never eaten them regularly but one every now and then reminds me of those old times.
A couple of our local churches still make pot pies that can be frozen and cooked later; They are not precooked. They contain only chicken and white sauce. That is how pot pies were made when I was a child…no veggies.
Once you've been exposed to meat pies from English bakeries, you won't be able to stomach this junk in the frozen food section of American supermarkets. An English meat pie is super flavorful, filling, and has plenty of good stuff inside the crust. American pot pies have thick crust and very little inside, and the little that's there has no flavor. Just say no!
I've often said it's a shame that meat pies never really caught on in America the way they did there. Or even like the steak and cheese pies from Australia. It's a damn shame we just don't have any real good option other than making our own.
And once again, I'm reassured that I have excellent taste LOL. But seriously, the Boston Market chicken pot pie is definitely the best supermarket pot pie. I have not yet had KFC though - I hear those are to die for.
I concur with your rating of Boston Market Pot Pies being the best. If you can catch them on sale, you will have a bargain. KFC is good too but they can be a little dry if you eat all the crust like I love to do.
I agree. There is just something about the flavor of BM CPP that I don't like. I tried various flavors of MC, the only ones I like are chicken and turkey. The beef chunks feel weird and rubbery.
@@christyalo5244 I've tried the beef before for a change of pace but I generally keep 4 of the chicken in my freezer. I haven't seen any of these other flavors though.
@@Mr.56Goldtop I tried some of them just to check them out and I didn't like any of them. My son likes the beef the best. Chicken and turkey for me!! I want to try the Schwann's too.
Banquet pies had the best flavor of chicken, veggies and gravy and crust, but they were too small unless you ate 3 of them at once. All the Banquet dinners were the best for the money, but those too you had to eat 2 of them to feel full.
I watched this video just to see if Boston Market's Chicken Pot Pie made it to the top of your list, and there it is! It's not as widely available as Marie Callender's, but it's worth searching for. It's also slightly less expensive than MC's.
My favorite chicken pot pie is from Achatz! It rhymes with "jackets." It's the best one I've ever had. I love mine with shredded cheese and Mrs Dash! 😍😎 They also have fruit and dessert pies!!!💯
No mention of the best pot pies made.Tthe Brand name is BLAKES. It's crust is puff pastry. There is a chicken potpie and a beef pot pie. The meats in both are large chunks. Definitely not minced. The beef reminds me of a beef wellington . It's that good.
Omg if I was on the verge of death by starvation is the only way I would eat this garbage, I make my own from scratch and leftover turkey and gravy from Thanksgiving is a perfect way to make a turkey pot pie , new york
I remembered when I was a kid, my parents had gotten some frozen dinners and pot pies from this old company called Morton, which happened to make an actual, decent pot pie. The Marie Callender's pot pies were my absolute favorites, a long time ago too. 😋♥️🫓🍗🧅🥕🌽🫑🍅
We prefer the Costco chicken pot pie. It's not one of these tiny thing that takes 2 to fill you up. It's huge, and will easily feed a family of 4 for 2 days. About $22.00 to $24.00 by the way. Well worth the price. Plus they aren't frozen & takes about 45 minutes to cook. I'm hungry just thinking about it.
Always ate Swanson growing up. Still my choice. May not be the best but takes me back in time. Liked them better in the aluminum pans….these should not be microwaved.
My Mother fed us 6 kids and Dad "Swanson" chicken pot pies before a long drive from NYC to Chicago. We all got botulism. Used a Holiday Inn bathroom as a vomitorium... In the tub, in the sink, all of us at once. Good times.
Why not show the Marie Calenders regular pot pie? Not corn, or gluten free, or broccoli, just the plain pot pie? The chicken and turkey are better than all these others.
I should have known. Boston Market really does taste better-IF YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO SOY! If you are you are just buying stomach cramps and misery. Marie Callender's used to be good but they have reduced how much they put in the pie and raised the price. Banquet is fine if you like the taste of cardboard, the box tastes better than the food. That leaves Swanson. It tastes like a frozen TV dinner for a halfway decent price. It is sad that this is what are choices have come to. Here's a hint for all of them. Reduce the number of chemicals and increase the actual foods included.
