I made this last night! It fed seven grown men 4 little girls and one woman. Had to make a second batch of the crust to use up all the filling. We made 8 individual pot pies and one large one. I followed the recipe almost exactly with the exception of using mixed veggies-Carrots Corn Green Beans and Peas. I did everything else according to the directions. The crust was a tad bit on the dry side I think it could of used just a little more water. All in all it was a huge hit at my house. I fed all those men unexpectedly and I am glad this recipe provided such a large amount. Thanks for posting it!
I only used the crust and made my own filling. The crust was a bit hard and tasteless. I love the idea of a cheddar crust but will be looking elsewhere for a recipe for it.

Five stars for the crust! Used it for my French Canadian Tourtiere and it complimented it nicely. I will do the Chicken Pot Pie recipe some day but had to say thank you for the crust recipe!
After all the time and energy that goes into preparing this dish it was quite tasty. This is definitely a rainy day recipe when one has nothing else to do but play in the kitchen. Peas would also have been a nice addition to the broth.
This recipe was really yummy and made a huge amount! However it did take almost an hour of labor to do. I made a few revisions that made it a little easier. I used my turkey leftovers instead of simmering the chicken. Then when it called for the broth I used 2c water 2t bullion. I boiled all the veggies together: putting the potatoes and carrots in first then about 8-10 minutes later I added the celery onion and some other veggies I had in the fridge and boiled it for another 3-5 minutes. I skipped step 3 entirely. I added garlic powder and seasoned salt to the sauce for extra flavor. I also had to add extra ice water to the crust to make it stick together.
This recipe has has so many options! I basicly followed the recipe but toss in extra veggies and used a can of turky I had and veggie broth. Came home from work had it in the oven within an hour. Great lunch to take to work for winter yes it makes a good amout for two! This is one of those recipes you could clean out your frig to make!
Fantastic recipe and worth the prep time. I did not have any cream so I substituted with 1/2 can of cream of mushroom soup. I also added some peas. The cheddar crust is flaky and crisp. My family ate the entire pie. I split the veggies and chicken in half to feed 4.
I had leftover turkey and veggies and needed a nice crust recipe. I found this and thought it looked pretty good. It was pretty easy to make the crust and we all enjoyed it! I didn't have any butter in the house so I used some I can't believe it's not butter in the plastic tub and it still seemed to turn out fine. Thanks!
I don't even have enough pots to put this recipe together! My own recipe is much simpler. Thanks anyway.
