"This is a recipe that I found somewhere and worked to alter it to meet my family's tastes. It's so versatile--don't be scared to change up your ingredients! Toss some fresh chives in there if you have them! The mushroom soup is our favorite, but sometimes we use cream of chicken for a change."

A great base recipe for pot pie that I'll definitely be using again in the future! I was a little surprised to find that there was no chicken listed, so I just baked a couple of chicken breasts in the oven (350 degrees for 30-40 minutes), shredded them and added them to the mix. I left out the potatoes just as a personal preference, but made the rest as directed. The end result was good, but I think I might end up experimenting a bit to try to bring out some more flavor next time. Canned soup tends to wash out other flavors IMO so this might be the problem - it just needed a little extra spice added to the gravy. Thanks for the recipe and I have no doubt that with a little bit of tweaking it will become a hit for me!
