Amy's to the rescue...
Ironically, They chose vegetable pot pies as their first product, basing the product on one of the original frozen food favorites, Swanson's pot pies. "A lot of us grew up on those pies, and they had a sort of comfort concept in our minds," Berliner says. "But now having become a vegetarian and health-oriented, we couldn't even think of eating that product".
So Erin was happy and as for me?
I will add though the only way to properly make a pot pie is in the oven. Despite what the package will tell you? Microwaving your pot pie is NOT the way for the best results. (I'll also add Swanson Turkey Pot Pies? 79 cents...Amy's Organic Vegetable Pot pie? $2.99...)

I have always loved pot pies.
Homemade, of course, are the best, but who has time to cook them from scratch?
I prefer the chicken ones, especially the ones that have a bottom and top crust.
Don't you just hate the cheap pot pies with no bottom crust? (historymike does his best Andy Rooney impression)
I went to England a couple months ago...they know pot pies over there. I went to a rugby match for the St Helens Saints. Instead of the typical hot dogs and pretzels we have here, they have a variety of pies...curry chicken, beef vegatable to name a couple. They were top notch. The beer selection was better too.
YES! To me the cheap ones without a bottom crust are not pot pies - lol (why I prefer Swanson). The Chicken is better than the Beef, I just have always liked the Turkey better (same with old fashion tv dinners).
My dad went to England a few times too Aaron, he felt the same way about both the pies and the beer. Maybe someday I'll get to find out.

I had a recent bout with Schwan's Steak and Chicken pot pies.
One bite and I couldn't stand the SALT content. Over 1,000 m.g. per pie, YUCK!
The best I ever had was home made by me and Mrs. Thunkit.
We made them like we do our chicken soup, LOTS of Chicken, Veggies, and Gravy. (Gravy doesn't go in the soup, silly...)
The meat/veggies/gravy to crust ratio was excellent!
Now, I'm hungry (again)... :-)
I've never tried Schwans, I used to get stuff from them a few years ago, the icecream was always excellent - lol
Homemade is of course the best, same with chicken and dumplings...or beef with dumplings....hmmm I do believe I have some bisquick....

I lived on Swanson's pot pies for two years in my youth. They are the best. I want them to bring back the metal pie trays, not this paper crap. Once they went to paper, they just weren't the same. It was that metalic taste on the bottom crust that made it great. Does anyone remember when Swanson's went bottomless for about a year. It was like New Coke and they went back to full pot pie crusts. Power to the poeple. Now if only government worked that well.
Yes, I remember the horror of the crustless bottom, banquet still is bottomless if I remember right.
I agree the metal ones are better, and I cheat. Since they still sell them at the store? I remove said pie from paper and replace said pie in metal tin. I think it gives a less soggy bottom crust.
They can be reused quite a few times. As well as coming in handy for art projects, cookie decorating, etc.
