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!
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!!
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
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)
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😋
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!!!💯
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. 😋♥️🫓🍗🧅🥕🌽🫑🍅
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Too much time wasted talking about gluten, which only affects the 1% of the world's population with Celiac disease. The real problem is gluten paranoia. Also, no mention at all of heating pot pies in the microwave oven, which is much faster than using a gas oven for a half hour, for just a little pot pie. At least you happen to show the microwave directions at 4:30, but still don't mention that option.
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.
...what's this insane obsession with 'gluten-free'??? The majority of folks don't sive a ghit...my mom used'ta make chicken pot pies with leftover chicken, frozen vegetables, Campbell chicken soup and a hand made rolled crust ( in that big yellow Pyrex bowl - popular in the 50s & 60s) my favorite 'store bought' pot pies are Marie Callender pies...
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.
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
No one who has ever eaten a single Pot Pie has given a shit about Gluten, or quite frankly knew what the hell it is. Bring on the KFC Pot Pies!!
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!
KFC chicken pot pie is my fav.
Have a gluten allergy once in awhile I tell myself screw it get a KFC pie

The crust was the best part. I don't think I would buy that brand now.
I think Banquet pot pies tastes exactly the same as they did in the 70s when I first ate them.
Same here, been eating them since the 60s, they remind me of those times.
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
Nostalgia lies
I looove the Marie Callender's chicken pot pies, 16 oz full sized. De-O-licious! 😋😁😉🤗
Turkey too!! The crust is the best part.
Yes!! My favorite! 😋
Don't forget the beef flavor! I was practically raised on Marie Callender's pot pies. 😁🥧
They now made them smaller! 15oz!
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)

Marie Calendar's traditional chicken pot pie is OK..where it's at is the beef stew pot pie!! Sooooo good!! Big chunks of beef too!
dont be like the Michigan fan who goes to the Ohio State message board and chats it up!!!!

Yup, and even now you can't get a thimble full of gas for under a dollah....
Larger and more meaty also.

I remember max and cheese 4 for a dollar
If you don't vent the top crust it will always come out the side. Reading the directions is always a good idea.
Convection oven works well with that concept
Blake's all-natural chicken pot pie comes in both regular and gluten-free versions. Good especially if you want no weird chems & preservatives.
Hmm, why do vegans want plants that are supposed to taste like meat? Sounds weird to me. SMH. JMO.
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.
Using artificial coloring and seasoning to make it look like meat is very weird.
Because they are vegans for certain reasons, ethics or health, but they still like the taste of meat.
Because over 11 billion animals have been slaughtered this year alone.
Many of us don't dislike meat, we just hate the brutal treatment and slaughtering of beautiful beings, so many of us just cannot support it🥴
A comfort food from my childhood.
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.
Unfortunately, Banquet is good if you like cream soup
@@rachellesommerfeld6575
They are cheap in price for a reason I never touch Banquet frozen food even when I'm broke before the end of the month
I love them too!
Mrs Budds, while not frozen, is BY FAR the best.
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?
Yes!! In NY, I lived around the corner from a Horn and Hardarts and we ate there all the time.
@@Factsmatter16 Thanks for responding! It seems like it was a nice place to eat. Too bad that a lot of nice places have to close down.
I tried Boomerang recently and I have to say it is one of my favorites! Super flavorful with a thick flaky crust 😍
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.

Stouffers is my favourite chicken pie . 🥧 . Have you noticed the picture on the box never looks like the junk food inside ?
Marie Calkender pot pies are good, love the crusts.

KFC does have the best pot pie, even when I get chicken I always get a pot pie too.
Marie Calendar’s is the best, but the calories are OUTRAGEOUS!
And the sodium and MSG!
I think Banquet pot pies are very good,Marie cal lender’s are great too, but the price is what people look at if there looking for the best meal.
I even like Banquet Chicken Pot Pies. They microwave perfectly golden. 😂
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.
Agree the Banquet was alot in the 60s bigger pieces of meat more filling
Some diabetics are not gluten intolerant. The cauliflower crust would cut down on the carbs for us. Must try.

Why don't they punch those little steam/vent holes in the top of the crust to prevent spill overs?

Mushrooms are AWESOME!!!

I like Marie collender and swanson, one day I will attempt to make my own, not hard
Delicious, and only about two dozen ingredients, just like grandma used to make.
Mrs. Budd's are very good too!!!
Pot pie corn. And tater tots.
Yum.
as you may have guessed. I ate one too many pot pies
The Cauliflower crust Marie Callender is lower in Carbs than the regular pie.
Five on this list were Marie Callender's (which is also owned by ConAgra) but NONE were just a regular MC chicken pot pie?

As a viewer of Larry over at the Wolfe Pit, nothing about this review of pot pies surprises.

I wish that Marie Callender would cut back on the sodium as the last few I've had were pretty salty.
I like mechanically separated .
You did not evaluate Stouffer's Chicken Pot Pie which is by far the best one!
We ate Banquet pot pies usually twice a week. Cant handle them now.
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.
I wonder why Pepperidge Farm stop selling their pot pies. They were so good.
Your supposed to poke fork holes in the Tipton release steam so it doesn’t do what it did
I always add rice..or mash potatoes sumtimes
The thing I look for most in a chicken pot pie is a great crust !! Don't care about gluten ! Sorry . . .
I buy a case of Banquet pot pies when they go on sale & they dont last long...
So which one is the best ???
