Yum! Used leftover turkey to add a little extra to it after trying the original version a while back.
0 HelpfulThis looked like it was going to be tastier than it wasn't. Mushroom sauce could have done without the peas.
0 HelpfulAdded fresh bell pepper and chicken breast to the pot pie. Used a bag of frozen mixed veggies with carrots, peas, corn, and green beans. Added craisens to the salad. Great! -R
0 HelpfulI would add red pepper flakes or a spicy sauce to this, but it was very delicious. Easy, and had comforting flavors.
