After a LOT of requests to review Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie I'm finally getting around to it! BUT I'm reviewing 2 other major brands along with it, Boston Market and Stouffers! Which one is your personal favorite? As always thank you all very much for all of your support! YOU THE PEOPLE.....please don't forget to *HIT* that like button!
@Real Dudes Party Nude I can not deny your claim, good sir. The highest point a pizza roll will ever reach is the formation of a turd after a long, vodka and rum driven night. One which the tongue of the consumer is already burnt by alcohol, and the mind is numbed by the same. When you can barely choose between gas or brakes, its a nice change to only have to poke a button and toss some garbage in once you get home. They are even easier to make than ramen...but not nearly as fun to burn your mouth on.
Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!
I absolutly agree. I have been an avid eater of chicken pot pies for 40 years and I can say without a doubt the Marie Callenders is the best regardless of the price. Thank you for the great review.
They have the best Salisbury steak for sure! Marie Callender’s is typically much higher quality than every other frozen food brand, although they can be quite expensive at times.
I can remember well eating chicken pot pies as a child. My mother fed them to us when we were little, and after I grew up, I figured I would try the beef pot pie and wow! I loved them lol! Heck I will still buy them from time to time.
Marie Callender's never disappoints me - always a decent product! Don't know too much about Boston Market, and Stouffer's used to be my "go-to" but they've gone downhill over the years! Great video, Larry!
Same. I like the matie callendars parmesan chicken pot pie. I moved to America from Mexico and wanted the true American home cookin type food experience. The first meal I ever had here was a marie callendars chicken pot pie and chicken and dumplings but i had it at THE ACTUAL MARIE CALENDARS RESTRAUNT BAKERY PLACE. It was AMAZING. Now i always keep some of the pot pies in my freezer as a comfort thing. I love white people food its so filling and warm and comforting
Personally... I always dumped my pot pie upside down on a plate before eating it. If the pie stayed whole together I was very pleased with it. Marie Callenders always stayed whole.
I always save the baked pastry shell for last. I cut the top of the shell off with the edge of a knife, and lay it aside. Then I eat the cooked filling by itself, so that I have the entire baked pastry shell saved for last.
We have both Marie Callender's and Boston Market here. I've have em' at Marie Callender's (Killer), but never at Boston Market. I'll try frozen and in shop!
Any frozen pot pies I cook, I take them out of the "crisper", put the top face down onto the baking tray, and bake it that way. Everything gets cooked perfectly as long as it wasn't badly broken when it was frozen. I'm not a huge fan of frozen pot pies, but that is the only way I will eat them and I have converted my mother to that way of baking them as well lol
When I was growing up, in Canada, we had a brand of meat pies (Chicken, beef, or turkey.) from a brand called York. They don't exist anymore, but hands down they were one of the best meat pies on the market at the time.
I used to love these as a kid and always ate a piece of crispy edging crust alternated with a spoonful of filling. Now, decades later, I only enjoy frozen items like this as a rare treat.
After my mom moved into assisted living, she wasn't too happy with the meals there as she was a great cook in her lifetime. We would take her to little local cafe every so often, and they had fairly good turkey and dressing dinners. The dressing was a little bland, so she would take along a container of sage and sprinkle it on her dressing, stir it in, and wait a few minutes. I tried it too, and it did help.I agree with you, love sage.
I enjoy the marie ones when I wanna be fancy but I still go back to the banquet ones often just because they use potatoes in them. I know it's there as a cheap filler but I like potatoes in my pot pies. Awesome vid yet again!
Drknow1984 Uh banquet pot pies are small unlike back in the 80s.they use to be bigger but they are cheaper and you can keep em.on hand in case you don't feel like going out especially if your stuck at home during storms or a good movie is on while some religious bible thumper is knocking on your door ignoring him 😅
We have always loved the Marie Callender's. I would serve each person one with a side salad. Very good and Very filling. Stouffers used to be good, but their quality has gone down hill.
Personal note: Marie Callender is the most readily available brand in my area, so it is the only brand I've tasted in the past 30 years. We like them. If only one person needs a quick, extremely easy meal, we cook an individual-sized one in the microwave; of course the crust isn't as browned, but it is acceptable. We have found that in our particular conventional oven, we can leave off the aluminum foil; the crust edge browns, but too much, and our household likes the small amount of browner crust. I am not recommending skipping the aluminum foil to everyone, but if you found you forgot it in haste, don't despair. Until I saw the video, I didn't give conscious thought to the sage. It really does complete the savory flavor, but I don't think it is overpowering for people who aren't particularly drawn to it.
Hey bud, love the channel but I do have a small request/suggestion: When comparing several different frozen/packaged foods, it may come in handy to have the box in the background during the dissection footage as a visual aid. I like to watch your vids in the background while I work and sometimes I glance up at the screen and can't immediately tell which product you're talking about, other than verbal mentions. I might be alone on this one, but I just thought I'd let you know, and you can do with this comment what you will. Either way, keep doing what you're doing!
I’ve had all of these and good old Swanson’s. They all taste pretty good but my favorite is the ones my mother made, and I learned from her. We’d use -remade Pilsbury pie crusts to top. I’d cheat and put some herbs between the crusts, roll them out flatter and top the dish with the rolled crust. We used carrots, celery, onion, peas, potatoes along with the chicken. A good bit of thyme and sage in the gravy.
I usually get the Marie Callender’s whenever it’s on sale. Great pot pie. I really want to try the Boston Market one now though. I’ll keep an eye out for it the next time I need my pot pie fix.
Marie Callender’s makes a broccoli potato cheese pot pie that’s great! You can mix some tuna in after it’s cooked if you need more protein. There used to be tuna pot pies by Banquet years ago, but I think that’s over with. And Callender’s is amazingly good out of the microwave. I didn’t think that would be possible.🌸
Bought a Marie Callender’s broccoli, cheese pot pie by mistake, thinking it was chicken/turkey pot pie .it was really good. Will always buy any Marie Callender’s pot pies .👍
I always loved Mrs.Budds pot pie, the yellow one that hasn't changed it's packaging in almost a decade. Bjs had a 10 pack and we didn't even get sick of them
Birds Eye® Voila!® Chicken & Vegetables in Pot Pie Gravy & Crust Crumbles 21 oz. Bag They have this at the Giant supermarket by me ... it's pretty good. Doesn't actually have a crust but it has little pieces of crust in the gravy. I buy them on sale and it's good comfort food.
Consider not reading the entire nutritional label on every video. Just show the label and people can pause if interested. Great channel! Please keep up the good work.
Marie Callenders was my go to but oh my lord the total calories was tremendously outrageous. I am a diabetic so these were always for emergencies only. However, I still like the old school Banquet Beef pot pies when I feel like slumming it.
I SURE LOVE MARIE CALLENDERS POT PIES...You can buy an 8 individual pkg box at Costco for $11.& change, and on sale for $8.&change on sale....Thats half price of the food store prices ... ...like $1.09 each
I absolutely love your videos man! Such a simple concept but you nail it out of the park. I unfortunately lost my job last month and I'm barely scraping by. I promise you though, as soon as I'm working again, I'm going to become a patron! Keep up the great entertaining work!!
Anonymous Panacea Well the chicken is the only part that's been cut up and such from China cause of the new rules that allows China to butcher the chicken and other livestock and then sent back to our country to be put into foods like those pot pies.
God bless Canadia the Greatest country in the world Oh Canada Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
I personally recommend a homemade pot pie...and drop the cream. My perfect pot pie has a flaky crust, and I use a blend of virgin coconut oil (which is mixed into the dough) and a brushing of grapeseed oil on the pan. The filling I make uses thigh meat from pre-baked chicken thighs which are cooked only with salt. The veggies I use in my filling are turnips, parsnips, yellow bell pepper, and a bit of spinach. The sauce base is made by taking the skin from the baked thighs and browning it in the pan first...then I add some water to extract the last goodness from it, and scoop out the now soggy skin. I add garlic, marjoram, tarragon, black pepper, sweet Hungarian paprika, salt, and MSG and add all of the chopped veggies except for the bell pepper to the sauce. I simmer it for a short while, then add about a tablespoon of potato starch and let it thicken a bit. Then, I add the yellow bell pepper to it after I've taken it off of the heat. Then I transfer it to the pie pan and top it with the last bit of crust and crimp it. I bake it for at least 30 minutes at 400, but usually for more like 40 because I like a crisp crust. The sweetness of the rosemary and parsnips (and to a lesser extent turnips) really works well with the savory crust and other parts of the sauce. I personally recommend blackberry lemonade (with or without a spike of white rum...your choice) as the drink to go with it. And if you want a dessert after such a meal, I would suggest fresh granny smith apple slices dipped in a salted caramel sauce.
@@jimm8246 Many times, frozen food is both more expensive and of lower quality than what you make from scratch. This doesn't count unseasoned frozen vegetables and fruit, mind you...just the pre-made stuff. I just share recipes in the comments of food videos a lot.
I love Marie Callender pot pies ❤ They are the best. My oven requires more cooking time so I put them in for almost 1 1/2 hours to get a 100% golden brown top crust . Beef is my favorite
I've been waiting for this since I've started watching you, Larry! I'd be interested in what you think of the Marie Calendars Cheesy Bacon Chicken Pot Pie. It's my weakness
Once a year, right after Thanksgiving, we set up a turkey pot pie production line and freeze ours for consumption during the next year. They are small enough to fit in the far left corner of the freezer not to be exposed to the opening and closing of the freezer door. My grandmothers recipe for the crust and sauce. The bird and all of the veggies come from local farms around here.
Back in my younger days when I first moved out of my parents house these were a staple. Marie Calendars used to make a mashed potato topped pot pie. I probably ate a million of those. Lol. Pot pies are 2$ now?? Back in my day they were .79c. Crazy!
Dave Brock The Banquet ones are still pretty affordable. I myself will occasionally pick up the breakfast pot pies Banquet has now, which are pretty good.
Marie Callendar, hands down; no other brand ever enters my home (I have tried the other two 👎). Of course, there's only myself to feed and please, so I can be "picky" for now. Marie C also has the pies in a smaller size, around 10 ounces, and baking in the oven is the best way to cook them, no matter which size. If you let the pie bake for an additional 5 - 6 minutes without the foil, the crust gets darker and tastes MUCH better! I bake it for around 30 minutes without foil, then cover it with foil for the remaining time, and it's always excellent, never burned, never underdone. Out of these three, I give MC a 10/10. The other two get nothing more than 3 points each, mostly for the reasons Mr. Wolfe gave.
IT'S HARD TO BEAT Marie Callender's Products. That's one of the Main Brands that my Wife found useful for an easy Meal.I used to eat them all the time, BEFORE I RETIRED. Since Retired,I can't do or eat anything THAT I USED TO!!! IT SUCKS!!! I was forced to retire because of a JOB SITE ACCIDENT.I didn't wind up in a wheel chair,but I came damn close,I got real lucky.No matter how bad SHIT GETS,IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE!!! WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU,MAKES YOU STRONGER!!! SO THEY SAY!!! STILL SUCKS THOUGH!!! LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!!!
I'm a fan of the Boston Market pot pie myself. The 'marinated chicken' tastes pretty good to me and I haven't had the texture problem you had with yours. I also like the Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie, but the Boston Market one takes the prize for me.
I can say before I even watch the video that Maria Callender's will win hands down but there is probably a price to be paid in calories and salt. P.S. I was wrong about the calories and salt but I still would choose Maria Callender's over just about any other mass produced frozen pot pie.
I'm sure Boston market uses a pastry puff crust. Thats what gives it that buttery, flaky crust. I use that on my homemade pot pies for the top crust. I prefer the ready made crust rather then making them myself, they pretty much taste the same as homemade to me with less time, but i always buy the ready to bake pastry puff crust sheets for the top . Makes a HUGE difference.
Same! I never understood the "100% white meat" claim on chicken products, like it's somehow better than dark meat? I eat the Marie's pot pie often enough and end up picking out most of the chicken and just eat the crust, veggies, and gravy.
I agree 100%. I only buy legs and thighs when I go grocery shopping. In most countries dark meat is preferred. I can deal with breast when it's cut up in things like pot pies or stir fry, but I could never eat an entire breast or white meat chicken strips.
My mother and I love Marie calanders pot pies.. we take the creamy chicken parmesan pot pies and make a small hole in the top when they’re done and stuff some cooked angel hair pasta in there then put a little salt and pepper and grated Parmesan and voila you have a meal and it’s awesome ..
Try the KFC Pot Pie Fill up! Make sure to call the store to order a fresh one! I used to work their and we would only make several pot pies and have them sit there til someone orders them. And by that only one person order it during the whole day!
I’m not sure if you have tried Marie Callander’s other por pies but, the chicken pot pie with mushrooms is sooooooo much better!! It’s thicker and has a lot more filling! I used to get it everyday when I worked retail (:
This one was right up my alley! I buy frozen Pot Pies all the time. I absolutely agree with your review! When it comes to Pot Pies I agree that Marie Callender's is the best. However, when I want a good Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes or Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese I think Stouffer's wins in that category. I like all three of these brands but think they each are better than the others at a certain dish. Great review as always!
Calendars used to be good the crust and veggies were ok last time I had it but the quality of the meat in all of MC dinners went down so I stopped getting them
I was eating a pot pie and watching one of your other videos when I stopped and thought... im sure this guy has made a pot pie video. Im so glad I was right.
Marie Callenders Chicken, Turkey and Beef pot pies, a little more expensive but its worth it, turkey being my favorite, it even browns properly when microwaved.
My husband and i had a random craving for a chicken pot pie. We normally dont eat premade frozen foods but ot just sounded so good! We bought two marie calendars pot pies but decided to split one. I remember them being great when i was a kid but it was awful. I think we accidentally bought a cheese one or something because the gravy was orange and tasted like velveeta. It was inedible. This video makes me hopeful to try one again!
Yes, Marie Callenders used to be really good, very close to homemade. Cost cutting by ConAgra over the years has changed the product. I don't normally buy pot pies either but when I did it was always MCs. The one they make now is so bad I don't buy them at all any more.
I want A Potpie made from Boston market crust with Maries filling !!!! Good point about foil around crust because if you don't it will burn !!! Thanks Wolfe
Marie Callender’s Chicken Corn Chowder Pot Pie is the most delicious,hearty, comfort food 🍲 I have ever had out of a microwave , and I have tried it all!
SooOooo Close to Perrrrrfection! Had you gone with TURKEY for the Marie Callender's Pot Pie, you likely would have been too busy (or full) to even review the others. I DO agree on Boston's crust - that buttery goodness could be solid MSG and I'd still be choomping at the bit to get one i only there was a quality product inside the crust! MMmmmm TURKEY.... so good you'll cancel Thanksgiving with the family!
Admittedly the Beef RULES.... but since Larry was reviewing poultry, I stayed within that subject. Have yet to see a chile, and not really sure I'd appreciate it. LOL
I cook it as per the directions (in the oven of course) then dump it upside down in an oven safe plate or sheet and broil it for a few minutes to brown the bottom (which is now the top.)
Instead of pledging, I was curious to as whether you'd accept mail. I could send you Australian things, not frozen goods, obviously, though all sorts of things, including Vegemite : P
Saving the address. I'll send in bulk so I'll get a bunch of things and send them your way. You and your family really need to try Tim Tams. You probably won't get right into them as they're sweet.
I wasnt a fan of pot pies until my mom was oven baking a few of them (because she goes to costco). She pops them out of the ovensafe packaging and flip them over onto a bowl, those things were pretty tasty
All of the pies looked very tasty. Now who waited to the end to eat the outer ring crust? I grew up with the Swanson chicken pot pie they were pretty good. Does anybody remember the beef or turkey pot pie?
After a LOT of requests to review Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie I'm finally getting around to it! BUT I'm reviewing 2 other major brands along with it, Boston Market and Stouffers! Which one is your personal favorite? As always thank you all very much for all of your support! YOU THE PEOPLE.....please don't forget to *HIT* that like button!

Marie's!
TheWolfePit Marie Callander is a good quality pot pie, I love eating it every once in a while. 💘

I buy them on sale and it's good comfort food.
Having eaten all three myself, I agree with Larry's ranking. Marie Callender's is the top choice! I like the Turkey and Beef Pot Pies even better.
Consider not reading the entire nutritional label on every video. Just show the label and people can pause if interested. Great channel! Please keep up the good work.
Boston Market's pot pies in their restaurants were incredible. Their restaurants can be hard to find though.
This is actually making me want some homemade chicken pot pie
@Real Dudes Party Nude mmmm we make our own filling (left over chicken or turkey, left -over veggies and gravy), and top with puff pastry.
Yummy.
Marie Callenders was my go to but oh my lord the total calories was tremendously outrageous. I am a diabetic so these were always for emergencies only. However, I still like the old school Banquet Beef pot pies when I feel like slumming it.
I SURE LOVE MARIE CALLENDERS POT PIES...You can buy an 8 individual pkg box at Costco for $11.& change, and on sale for $8.&change on sale....Thats half price of the food store prices ... ...like $1.09 each
I had to check the posting date when you gave the piece of the Marie Callenders pot tie
I happened to be eating one of these when i was watching this
War Eqo Give us your review.
Most underrated comment
I absolutely love your videos man! Such a simple concept but you nail it out of the park.
I unfortunately lost my job last month and I'm barely scraping by. I promise you though, as soon as I'm working again, I'm going to become a patron!
Keep up the great entertaining work!!
No offense to China but I do trust food from Canada over food from china.
Gorden Wood Amen!
Anonymous Panacea Well the chicken is the only part that's been cut up and such from China cause of the new rules that allows China to butcher the chicken and other livestock and then sent back to our country to be put into foods like those pot pies.
Of course you would. Canada is a first world country with food standards, health standards, and workers rights.
God bless Canadia the Greatest country in the world Oh Canada Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
St Kits Boi lol
I personally recommend a homemade pot pie...and drop the cream. My perfect pot pie has a flaky crust, and I use a blend of virgin coconut oil (which is mixed into the dough) and a brushing of grapeseed oil on the pan. The filling I make uses thigh meat from pre-baked chicken thighs which are cooked only with salt. The veggies I use in my filling are turnips, parsnips, yellow bell pepper, and a bit of spinach. The sauce base is made by taking the skin from the baked thighs and browning it in the pan first...then I add some water to extract the last goodness from it, and scoop out the now soggy skin. I add garlic, marjoram, tarragon, black pepper, sweet Hungarian paprika, salt, and MSG and add all of the chopped veggies except for the bell pepper to the sauce. I simmer it for a short while, then add about a tablespoon of potato starch and let it thicken a bit. Then, I add the yellow bell pepper to it after I've taken it off of the heat. Then I transfer it to the pie pan and top it with the last bit of crust and crimp it. I bake it for at least 30 minutes at 400, but usually for more like 40 because I like a crisp crust. The sweetness of the rosemary and parsnips (and to a lesser extent turnips) really works well with the savory crust and other parts of the sauce. I personally recommend blackberry lemonade (with or without a spike of white rum...your choice) as the drink to go with it. And if you want a dessert after such a meal, I would suggest fresh granny smith apple slices dipped in a salted caramel sauce.
Thank you are you looking for a spot on Food Network? This video is about frozen food.
@@jimm8246 Many times, frozen food is both more expensive and of lower quality than what you make from scratch. This doesn't count unseasoned frozen vegetables and fruit, mind you...just the pre-made stuff. I just share recipes in the comments of food videos a lot.
damn pot pies are good and awesome yumo lol
ZombieBitesAgain when made RIGHT😉😉😉.
I love Marie Callender pot pies ❤
They are the best.
My oven requires more cooking time so I put them in for almost 1 1/2 hours to get a 100% golden brown top crust .
Beef is my favorite
I've been waiting for this since I've started watching you, Larry! I'd be interested in what you think of the Marie Calendars Cheesy Bacon Chicken Pot Pie. It's my weakness
Chris Flores omg yeeesss the marie cal pot pies with cheese are the best!
Lawd that thing is diamond level. So dayum good!!!!! 😍
Once a year, right after Thanksgiving, we set up a turkey pot pie production line and freeze ours for consumption during the next year. They are small enough to fit in the far left corner of the freezer not to be exposed to the opening and closing of the freezer door. My grandmothers recipe for the crust and sauce. The bird and all of the veggies come from local farms around here.
Love these types of videos! Please do more frozen food brand comparisons! :)
i LOVE Banquet chicken pot pies
Back in my younger days when I first moved out of my parents house these were a staple. Marie Calendars used to make a mashed potato topped pot pie. I probably ate a million of those. Lol. Pot pies are 2$ now?? Back in my day they were .79c. Crazy!
Dave Brock The Banquet ones are still pretty affordable. I myself will occasionally pick up the breakfast pot pies Banquet has now, which are pretty good.
Dave Brock. Guess I'm really getting old. I remember getting pot pies 4 for $1. Banquet I believe.
Marie Callendar, hands down; no other brand ever enters my home (I have tried the other two 👎). Of course, there's only myself to feed and please, so I can be "picky" for now.
Marie C also has the pies in a smaller size, around 10 ounces, and baking in the oven is the best way to cook them, no matter which size.
If you let the pie bake for an additional 5 - 6 minutes without the foil, the crust gets darker and tastes MUCH better! I bake it for around 30 minutes without foil, then cover it with foil for the remaining time, and it's always excellent, never burned, never underdone.
Out of these three, I give MC a 10/10. The other two get nothing more than 3 points each, mostly for the reasons Mr. Wolfe gave.
IT'S HARD TO BEAT Marie Callender's Products. That's one of the Main Brands that my Wife found useful for an easy Meal.I used to eat them all the time, BEFORE I RETIRED. Since Retired,I can't do or eat anything THAT I USED TO!!! IT SUCKS!!! I was forced to retire because of a JOB SITE ACCIDENT.I didn't wind up in a wheel chair,but I came damn close,I got real lucky.No matter how bad SHIT GETS,IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE!!! WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU,MAKES YOU STRONGER!!! SO THEY SAY!!! STILL SUCKS THOUGH!!! LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!!!
#FACTS
I'm a fan of the Boston Market pot pie myself. The 'marinated chicken' tastes pretty good to me and I haven't had the texture problem you had with yours. I also like the Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie, but the Boston Market one takes the prize for me.
I can say before I even watch the video that Maria Callender's will win hands down but there is probably a price to be paid in calories and salt.
P.S. I was wrong about the calories and salt but I still would choose Maria Callender's over just about any other mass produced frozen pot pie.
Their TV dinners are pretty good for TV dinners, too.
Try indignant Jim brand pot pies
I’m sure no one will agree but I like banquet. I’ve tried Marie’s and still like banquet best. I love pot pies!!!
That's what I was thinking. I was raised on those. I always eat 2!
The Marie one works good in the microwave.
I'm sure Boston market uses a pastry puff crust. Thats what gives it that buttery, flaky crust. I use that on my homemade pot pies for the top crust. I prefer the ready made crust rather then making them myself, they pretty much taste the same as homemade to me with less time, but i always buy the ready to bake pastry puff crust sheets for the top . Makes a HUGE difference.
This world is difficult for people like me who hate white meat chicken and love dark meat
No products feature "100% dark meat chicken!" lol
Thigh is were it's at, breast meat is so boring lol.
Same! I never understood the "100% white meat" claim on chicken products, like it's somehow better than dark meat? I eat the Marie's pot pie often enough and end up picking out most of the chicken and just eat the crust, veggies, and gravy.
I agreeeee!!
Joey Greathouse ^^^🙄
I agree 100%. I only buy legs and thighs when I go grocery shopping. In most countries dark meat is preferred. I can deal with breast when it's cut up in things like pot pies or stir fry, but I could never eat an entire breast or white meat chicken strips.
Banquet Chicken or Turkey, the have came a long way done as they introduced the Microwave version! 42yrs Young I still eat these regularly!! 👍
*Meow" No kitty this is my pot pie!
Bad kittyyy !!!
Simon Harris Bad kitty.
Simon Harris lmao I love you dude!!
Screw you guy's I'm going home!
"mom Kitty's being a dildo!"
My mother and I love Marie calanders pot pies.. we take the creamy chicken parmesan pot pies and make a small hole in the top when they’re done and stuff some cooked angel hair pasta in there then put a little salt and pepper and grated Parmesan and voila you have a meal and it’s awesome ..
Try the KFC Pot Pie Fill up!
Make sure to call the store to order a fresh one! I used to work their and we would only make several pot pies and have them sit there til someone orders them. And by that only one person order it during the whole day!
Diego B-M thanks for the tip..i love them
I’m not sure if you have tried Marie Callander’s other por pies but, the chicken pot pie with mushrooms is sooooooo much better!! It’s thicker and has a lot more filling! I used to get it everyday when I worked retail (:
You should review Totinos party pizzas
Yes, so disgusting they are delish.
Yuck lol
I love them
Omg the crust ❤️
This one was right up my alley! I buy frozen Pot Pies all the time. I absolutely agree with your review! When it comes to Pot Pies I agree that Marie Callender's is the best. However, when I want a good Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes or Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese I think Stouffer's wins in that category. I like all three of these brands but think they each are better than the others at a certain dish. Great review as always!
I agree Nate, they all have something decent! Thanks for watching!
Calendars used to be good the crust and veggies were ok last time I had it but the quality of the meat in all of MC dinners went down so I stopped getting them
I was eating a pot pie and watching one of your other videos when I stopped and thought... im sure this guy has made a pot pie video. Im so glad I was right.
Marie Callendars is the bomb!!!
Marie Callenders Chicken, Turkey and Beef pot pies, a little more expensive but its worth it, turkey being my favorite, it even browns properly when microwaved.
Watch out for those random slits. 😛
😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
I used to feed my daughter and myself on a shared Marie Calendar's pie and a salad. It was a nice dinner.
So pot pie doesn't have marijuana?
macedonio450 Just sprinkle some in. 😎
Mine does...or maybe that is oregano. I cannot remember. Dude, what did you ask?
macedonio450 Sadly no. :(
You gotta smoke the pot pie and find out bro .
Marijuana is not FDA regulated yet 😉😁
My husband and i had a random craving for a chicken pot pie. We normally dont eat premade frozen foods but ot just sounded so good! We bought two marie calendars pot pies but decided to split one. I remember them being great when i was a kid but it was awful. I think we accidentally bought a cheese one or something because the gravy was orange and tasted like velveeta. It was inedible. This video makes me hopeful to try one again!
Yes, Marie Callenders used to be really good, very close to homemade. Cost cutting by ConAgra over the years has changed the product. I don't normally buy pot pies either but when I did it was always MCs. The one they make now is so bad I don't buy them at all any more.
DAMN! THIS CHANNEL *BLEW UP* SINCE I SUBBED!!
who was here before 10k subs
Who was here before
who was here before the channel existed?
He deserves it, glad it's taken off
I was subbed before RUclips was founded
I want A Potpie made from Boston market crust with Maries filling !!!! Good point about foil around crust because if you don't it will burn !!! Thanks Wolfe
"who's gonna eat half a pot pie" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This review made me SO hungry!
Makes me want to go out and get a pot pie...
I've had a number of the Marie Callender's pies. That crust could bring about peace on earth. No joke.
Take a shot for every time he says pot pie.
craig tiffany I'm totally wasted! 😕
I didn’t make it
ROFLMFAO
craig tiffany just got out of detox

Marie Callender’s Chicken Corn Chowder Pot Pie is the most delicious,hearty, comfort food 🍲 I have ever had out of a microwave , and I have tried it all!
SooOooo Close to Perrrrrfection!
Had you gone with TURKEY for the Marie Callender's Pot Pie, you likely would have been too busy (or full) to even review the others. I DO agree on Boston's crust - that buttery goodness could be solid MSG and I'd still be choomping at the bit to get one i only there was a quality product inside the crust!
MMmmmm TURKEY.... so good you'll cancel Thanksgiving with the family!
TheOregonOutlaw I skeptically ate the chili pot pie... It was pretty good.
TheOregonOutlaw But omg the beef pot pie is amazing. When it comes to frozen meals of course.
Admittedly the Beef RULES.... but since Larry was reviewing poultry, I stayed within that subject. Have yet to see a chile, and not really sure I'd appreciate it. LOL
Don’t think I’ve had any other frozen pot pie other than Marie Calendars, always end up going back to it. It just works.
Pepperidge Farms has an awesome pot pie, gotta check it out!
REALLY? I've never seen PF pot pies! I'm on the hunt now!
I thought they were discontinued!
I cook it as per the directions (in the oven of course) then dump it upside down in an oven safe plate or sheet and broil it for a few minutes to brown the bottom (which is now the top.)
Instead of pledging, I was curious to as whether you'd accept mail. I could send you Australian things, not frozen goods, obviously, though all sorts of things, including Vegemite : P
YES That would be awesome Matthew! Thanks!

Saving the address. I'll send in bulk so I'll get a bunch of things and send them your way. You and your family really need to try Tim Tams. You probably won't get right into them as they're sweet.
TheWolfePit
You have to compare Marmite to Vegemite. Marmite is better.
This I look forward to!!!
@@mathewsoltan8487 the long cookie snacks? Those are great!
I wasnt a fan of pot pies until my mom was oven baking a few of them (because she goes to costco). She pops them out of the ovensafe packaging and flip them over onto a bowl, those things were pretty tasty
I can't find them anymore, but Swanson pot pies were really good.
Banquet pot pies are the best in my opinion surprisingly really good in the microwave
NICE yet a other time you try it so we don't have to. Thanks my dude.
All of the pies looked very tasty. Now who waited to the end to eat the outer ring crust? I grew up with the Swanson chicken pot pie they were pretty good. Does anybody remember the beef or turkey pot pie?
Do you think there's microwavable chicken pot-pie in heaven?
Tony H Yes...with extra wings. 🤣
