Picked up their Premium white meat with vegetables. The vegetables where obviously processed frozen vegetables added to the pie, reminded me of Veg-all. The gravy was watery and the pie contained two large pieces of white meat chicken that did not balance out the 3 servings and should have been broken in to bite size pieces. The crust, a single piece only on top, barley covered the flimsy foil tin that did not support the contents out of the oven. I have had better chicken pot pie from KFC.wzzzrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106474696236158790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-91701182837343921442013-08-09T20:12:06.993-04:002013-08-09T20:12:06.993-04:00A couple weeks ago I was at an Aldi's, I picke...A couple weeks ago I was at an Aldi's, I picked up their Bremer 10 in. size, it was the most delicious pot pie I've had, it was so good. Tonight I picked up some Marie Callendar's, not as good. It was great to see someone reporting on this as you did because we are in agreement. Next week I am going back to Aldi's!!francinescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818736520446345136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-4424999731132239242012-01-29T14:03:27.504-05:002012-01-29T14:03:27.504-05:00The number one hands down best is Willow Tree ,The...The number one hands down best is Willow Tree ,They are what they say they are , Turkey or Chicken meat and Gravy no veggies to take up space.

I've never even heard of any of the brands you said were "excellent quality," but then I probably wasn't looking. Making my own is so much better, but I'm kinda lazy about it and last made one two years ago.<br /><br />I did a similar thing ranking frozen turkey dinners and oooh, boy, all the sodium I ingested made me feel pretty sick.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-77093768866889930512010-11-23T23:58:55.790-05:002010-11-23T23:58:55.790-05:00Hi Dave, wonderful post!!

Awesome info here and so neat to see the varieties, not to mention all the ones rated 'very good quality' and above... I haven't ventured anything above a Marie Callendar's so curious to try them.

Here you can get a Banquet pot pie for around $0.62, and when they are on sale, as low as $0.39, so it makes for a very cheap meal, especially if there are quite a few people eating.Naik Sairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904174241851465888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-62241530009714668222010-11-22T08:21:11.479-05:002010-11-22T08:21:11.479-05:00This is a favorite topic of mine.

Like you, I think even the cheap ones can fill your appetite on a cold day while watching Jeopardy. I remember a brand, years ago, that when you dumped it on a plate it flattened out into nothing but gravy and a few miscellaneous other things, for color. But the gravy was good. I'm a sucker for pot pies on sale. It's like stocking up for the end of the world. One day I made one of my own. Found a recipe that beats all the pot pies I ever had. I'll still buy them on sale though. Great article, Dave.Alannoreply@blogger.com
