We're Doing Banquet Pot Pies

Don't get me wrong. I can make a homemade pot pie, and it's quite good. The thing is, we keep a few things on hand around the house that are what I call, "Quick, I don't really feel like cooking" nights. I usually still make sides. Like tonight. I am making Bremer Salisbury steaks we get from Aldi, because they are currently a little bit cheaper than On-Cor. I am also making cut green beans with a little bit of butter and a red sauce pasta. Things we keep on hand that are quick and easy are Innovasian honey chicken or orange chicken which we usually slightly modify. We keep Gorton's beer battered fish. We usually have On-Cor riblets or chicken parmigiana, and of course the Bremer Salisbury steaks. We keep easy sides like French fries or tater tots. We use Smithfield and Hatfield marinated pork tenderloins for additional quick main dishes. But it has been years since I have bought Banquet pot pies, but I remember as a kid, I used to love them. And at both Walmart and Ruler, they are only a buck a piece. That's cheap. So, on my next shopping trip, which will be tomorrow at Ruler, I plan to get four of them, and when we have them, we'll have two each. It's quick. It's easy. It's cheap. It's good eats. And I have had them on the list for a while and just haven't gotten them yet. Have you ever had them? Do you like them?

I find they don't have enough filling, especially meat, for my liking.

I have pot pie soup now, Progresso chicken pot pie “style” soup that I add the starch to. And, like you, I keep a lot of stuff around for quick meals. Especially in the winter.

I eat them on occasion. I know I have one in the freezer now. I like the Impossible Chicken Pot Pie. They are simple to make and delicious.

I actually just bought two Marie Callender chicken pot pies. I haven't bought them in years since Dale is gluten intolerant, but something once in a while doesn't seem to hurt. Enjoy yours!

I used to make homemade pot pies until my ex started called them "slops". I thought they were really good but stopped making them after that. Pretty loves pot pies and buys them once in a while.
