    A few years ago o discovered the sausage and gravy pot pie. Since then it has been the only type I consistently purchase. My local hyvee carries the sausage, the apple, I believe peach and cherry berry pies along with beef, chicken and turkey. I have had the chicken and broccoli as well as the Salisbury steak flavors but I don't recall them being significantly more interesting than the more standard flavors. I am disappointed that I haven't found the cheesy ham and potato breakfast pie in the store considering how good the sausage is. I grew up with frozen pot pies. I make these in the microwave and the crust comes out well. Brutal moose did a video with the apple pie last year around Christmas but he used an underpowered microwave and had bad results. I broadly enjoy these products, but the main flavors I am very accustomed to. I may try the chicken and broccoli and the Salisbury steak again to give them a chance but they didn't offer any real novelty previously. I am not a particular fan of biscuits and gravy but I am quite a fan of the pie. The fruit pies are also quite good. The cheesy ham and potato I will hunt for because it's could be amazing based on the sausage pie.

    I ate a lot of pot pies when I was in college in the early/mid 1970s. As I recall, they were 25 cents back then. I believe that Banquet was the least expensive of the pies available to me, but I opted for the next cheapest brand because I like vegetables more than meat and the Banquet pies had far more meat than vegetables (just like the ones in the video). I had to pay more to get less meat.
    That sausage pie does look delicious. I wish my body could handle the carbs in these pies.
    A final thought. I recall the existence of tuna pot pie. It sounded at the time, and still does sound, absolutely disgusting. I have no idea if these are still made. (I'm not sure why it sounds disgusting. It can't be that different from a tuna noodle casserole.)

    We would carve a T C or B on top so we knew what kind it was when it was when I was a kid, the same company makes Swanson pot pies, I think they are identical just with a different name

    As a 66 year old road musician who was in a touring band for years, we lived on these thing's we weren't traveling at home & broke (no microwaves back then.) Use to buy 3 for a buck. On the road, it was bologna, wonder bread & chips for lunch, then we'd splurge after each gig & eat a great breakfast at the best truck stop we could find. Still love them to this day!

    Thanks Larry!! Love your videos, and I LOOOOOVE frozen pot pies! You should try the deep dish marie callendar's ones too, for US, THE PEOPLE!!
    Edit: I'm especially interested in how you'd cook them. It seems like when you do them in the microwave, the bottom burns before the middle gets hot, and if you do them in the oven, the top burns before the bottom gets done!

    I gave up on these 15 years ago… They put one good tablespoonful of ingredients in, then added a pre-baked cap humped up to look like it wasn't nearly hollow inside, which it was… Time to try 'em again.

    If you order a chicken pot pie in Wisconsin…. any restaurant… you get a bowl of chicken soup with a stale biscuit. Id take these frozen meals over any Wisconsin "home cooked" food.

    I remember them being 25 cents in the late 80's to early 90's. I don't like the paper pie tins. The crust sticks to them. When I was a kid they used aluminum foil pie tins, and the crust didn't stick to them. I used to like turning it upside down on a plate and eating it like that. I can't do that anymore. I do swear they used to put a little more veggies in them.

    The first time I had these pot pies I was 7 years old, my babysitter made them for dinner. I would take one bite then do something else, I didn't want it to end. After she asked me what was taking me so long to eat, when I answered her she said if I ate faster I could have another one, I immediately fell in love with her.
