On top and bottom or just on top?

Every once in a while I will make it with both. It is definitely preferred by my husband to have both, but I tend to leave it out to cut fat and calories. I also have always had a problem with the bottom crust getting soggy, but I think I will try what teri suggested and bake it a bit first. Thanks for posting this. Now I think we will be having pot pie this week.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM chicken pot pie...sadly NO one in my family likes this dish except me :( so i dont get it too often (unless i buy the ready made ones!!) but i love the whole 'pie' experience, so the crust HAS to be on both the top and the bottom!!

I always just put a crust on the top too. I love pot pie..I make a really yummy veggie one.

We like the crust on top and bottom lily. I bake the bottom crust a bit before I add the filling, then add the top crust and bake the pie. Once the pie is completely baked, we like to mix it all up and the crust on top is just never enough, so, we like to have both.

I like it on top and bottom but alas old hubby just likes it on the bottom so we compromise. If it is a beef pot pie or chicken I put crust on the bottom and mashed potatoes on the top.

....... ehhhh to be authentic you have to do it just like any other pie you gotta lay teh base crust then put in your veggies broth chicken and all that good stuff in there then you lay a crust over it lol. Thats how do it

I use to put one on the top and bottom when fat and calories weren't my concern. This year only the top would get a low fat crust. I like chicken, turkey, and beef pot pies.

If I'm making it myself I put just the crust on the top. Seems easier that way. Now if I'm buying one at the store, I love the ones with crust on the bottom. Marie Callender's frozen pot pies are excellent. I wouldn't recommend them often because of the calories, but when they go sale, definitely try them.
