Update..waste..do not recommend making this particuliar receipe from Taste of Home...very disappointing
So I looked up the nutrition info on a Marie Cavender's pot pie, and one pie has 800 calories, wth??? The box indicates one pie is two servings.... um, I think not! The Banquet ones are about half the calories, but also half the filling and half the taste. So I bought the Banquet ones for 75 cents each... what a deal. At least I can have the whole dang pie.
@Beth Gallagher ...yes I know very fattening pies. We have eaten them off and on for years.But have been making our own and taste is great with a lot less calories and fat.
I tried making the filling last time using a can of condensed Cream of Potato Soup. It turned out pretty good. (mixed vegs, chopped chicken thigh, onions, +soup). Had the leftover chicken already. It's got to be pretty easy or I won't make it. The filling was better than the pie, because I can't make pie crust.
Good point, Gloria. How I long for the days when I could eat anything without a care about "nutritional values" on the package. Nowadays if I look at cookies too long I gain 5 pounds, sigh. Anyway, I have some leftover baked chicken in the fridge and some bagged mixed veggies, so I might have to give homemade a go. I was going to make noodle soup with the chicken so we'll see how this plays out!
Sounds pretty good, Nancy. I always keep frozen puff pastry and a pie crust or two in the freezer, so it would be easy to "dump and bake." (My favorite kind of cooking.)
I hear you...a crying shame we finally make it to the Older person section - but still having to watch ŵhat we eat because of calories , fat and cholesterol
Dunno but it looks like you forgot to pay for your lunch ticket this week Lon. What happened to the carrots and peas and celery and stuff? You enjoyed it so that’s what counts I guess.......
I buy them sometimes. More of a convenience, really. I like them but I don't have them often. Prefer a bottom crust.
