It is all pretty basic. Except for getting the crescent roll dough to lay correctly on top of the pot pie mixture. :) It Made my house smell amazing. Definately making this recipe again.

Just made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. I did make a few changes - used 1 cup of Milk instead of water and added 1 can of mushroom soup. I also added a little garlic salt and frozen corn. Very yummy!!

My family loved this recipe. I couldn't believe I could love a pot pie this much. I did add just a little more velveeta. I also used on whole small onion finely chopped. I also substituted the potatoes for southern style cubed hash browns. I used veggie mix instead of just peas and carrots. This is easy but does take around 20 minutes to prepare. I would recommend this to anyone. My kids even like the veggies in it. Including my daugher that doesn't care for carrots or green beans.

I have made this several times for my family and they love it. Only thing I do to make it easier is use canned diced potatoes. They work perfectly.

"easy" is an understatement. It takes a bit to prepare this dish. And it isn't very good at that.
