To be honest I just used the crust with my own pot pie filling. It turned out wonderful. Saved it for future use. :)

Based on the reviews that said this recipe was bland, I swapped out the original spices and used instead the spices from Tender Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts recipe from this site. I've never made a crust before, and didn't measure the water - simply added it until the dough started staying together - but it turned out very well, although not as cheesy as I was hoping. I also boiled all the vegetables in homemade chicken broth and pan-fried chicken breasts, which cut out some of the prep time. It still took a good hour of prep though - definitely a weekend meal. I cut the recipe in half and even after my bf and I had seconds, there is still plenty left over. Will definitely make again.

I used a different filling, but made the crust this recipe calls for. It was a great idea at first. It was flavorless, and rubbery. I made it according to recipe, rolled ( it was very hard to roll out) and cooked. Ended up having to cook and extra ten minutes and could have went another 5.

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.

I give this recipe 2 stars...I can't rate it completely fair though, because I only used the cheddar crust. I hate to give negative reviews, but this crust was dry, tasteless, and very hard. I felt like it needed a lot more butter and more water to hold it together, and also a tsp of salt should've been stirred in with the flour. Sorry, I think the idea of a cheddar crust is a good one, but it needs to be more of a crust and not a hard, stale, giant cracker.

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!

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.

This recipe is okay, but when I put this much time into a meal I want it to be much more remarkable. As written, this recipe is very bland, even after I added poultry seasoning to the sauce. Will not make this recipe again.

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!
