When I was a kid, these and TV dinners were a rare treat. Even though my mother always regarded food like this as junk food, we loved them and my favorite part was also a overcooked hunk of crust. Looking at the ingredient list with my adult eyes though, I can say that these are sodium bombs. The amount of filling in the pie is about a ladleful and at 800 mg of sodium, that’s an awful lot. So I would only eat these on occasion. I never noticed an excessive salty taste either, and would assume if they put it on the label, that it’s at least that. I only had different brands like Marie Callender once I was out on my own. I’m not sure if one is better than the other in reality or not. But I have been to a few restaurants that had a pot pie as a menu item and they were at least 3 times bigger. That crust is what gets me though. I love it

@aDg 2k18 the banquet pot pies we buy come in the same package they are showing, and that’s not aluminum foil, it’s that microwaveable packaging that helps keep the food crisp. It’s microwaveable. ….. New Banquet packages also include more explicit instructions for cooking in microwaves of varying wattages. Similar changes are in store for hundreds of other ConAgra frozen foods, including Healthy Choice and Kid Cuisine lines. The old Banquet package said on the front: "Ready in 4 minutes. Microwaveable." On the back, in smaller type, the instructions specified four minutes in "medium" or "high" wattage microwaves and six minutes in "low" wattage ones. The new package recommends cooking four to six minutes in a microwave with 1,100 watts or more, and not in lower-powered ones.

For the Chicken and Broccoli Pot Pie: because its going to be cooked and frozen by the manufacturer and then reheated for so long by the consumer they have to use broccoli stems - if they used florets those would have been pretty vaporized or turned in to gooey mush. If you were making these from scratch at home it would be fine to use florets because you're going to cook them once and then eat and they'd be able to better stand up to the process.

Where I lived recently, the Swanson pot pies cost about 1/4 a cent more than the Banquet pies, (Swanson sold at 4 for 3.97, ($.9925) and banquet was priced $.99 each) and are significantly better in my opinion. The Banquet pies have a peculiar aftertaste in the crust I find off putting, which the Swanson pies does not have. However, I’ve not found anything but turkey and chicken pies in Swanson, where the banquet has beef and sausage pies as well as the turkey and chicken pies. Also, banquet has peach and berry and apple pies available, which are pretty good, and don’t have the weird aftertaste in the crust. A little light on the filling, more syrup on the syrup/fruit ratio than a normal frozen fruit pie.

The ONLY thing I wanted was one of these turkey pot pies, I had no taste for anything else. I had lost quite a bit of weight so one or two of these certainly didnt hurt.. I could only eat half of one, but that pot pie was the most delicious thing I could have and was so satisfying at the time. . I still buy a couple every once in a while, they are still the same as when I was a kid. Such a treat.

I just went through your list of meals and it made me really nostalgic for the time when I came to the USA . I thought, how simple, I don’t have to get all these ingredients, just pop it in the oven. Isn’t America wonderful, and it tasted so yummy. And for dessert, green jello with whatever was in the fruit can. Now I have a drawer full of spices and herbs, exotic ingredients I don’t trust. Thanks for leading me down memory lane. It’s all good. 🇺🇸😷🎄❤️

I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while and you have me reading the labels. Yesterday my wife and I were Christmas shopping and the final stop was Walmart. I wanted something simple to eat after a long day and remembered this video. We had beef pot pies for dinner and they were delicious. I also picked up the sausage gravy pot pies and had them for breakfast with sausage links and scrambled eggs. We loved it! Thanks for the idea and keep up the great work.

Sad to see so many trusted brands (even local) using these cheap fillers. Just raise the price a few cents and ditch the TVP!

Thumbs up!! Okay, lets sum this up here: The sausage and gravy pie looked really good, but the sodium is too much! No TVP in these pies had to be very disappointing...I hope you went to dollar store, to find some kind of frozen abysmal TVP meal to compensate. Finally I know you don't like peas. For them to jip you out of a pea, is atrocity! Got to have a good pea once in a while.

When I was a kid during the 1960's/1970's, Mom worked and we ate Morton Chicken Pot Pies, replaced now by Banquet, until I went to college in 1974. Much like Totino's Party sausage/pepperoni pizzas. I don't care what anyone else says, they still taste great and I will cherish them forever.

It's a huge problem here that's led to a national health crisis.

I am old enough to remembered when Banquet pot pies were $0.25 each. The beef pot pies were my go to for a cheap, fast meals. Glad to see that they went back to the aluminum pie tins and got rid of those microwavable paper tins, which were an abomination.

I was pleased to see your strategy for eating these is the same as mine- -savor the crust, then scrape everything inward and scrape it for every bite. Frankly, I wished they made family sized versions of these. The veggies can be hit or miss, true, but one consistent star of all the Banquet products - all the gravies are delicious.
