The best part is that you can stock-up ingredients, and it can be made anytime in about an hour. Premade piecrust can be frozen until needed. You'll never again drop $6-7 for a Mrs. Buds pot pie! Something better can be made in about 10 minutes of prep time, serving 3-4, people +.Good enough to serve the husband's boss!
Paul's Homemade EASY pot pie
Chicken Variety
1 box of premade pie crust (Let it warm unfreeze @ room temp for taking out of its
packaging to prevent ripping. Scratch one handed crust isn't worth the trouble or mess for
the $2.00)
Mix in a bowl;
1 side of a boneless chicken breast in 1/4" cubes. I find it cubes up better if still frozen.
1 can cream of chicken soup.
(Vegetarians, you're really doing a favor putting those boneless chickens out of their
misery.
or 12 oz. can of chicken meatsmoshed up, use thedraindewater from chicken meat otherwise use tap water to make the soup, a bit thicker than you might otherwise make soup. It should be about the consistency of heavy cream. the rice reduces the watery texture when cooked.

A beef variety also exists but ingredients are more less forgiving to keep on hand.
