So incredibly easy, fast and delicious! I adopted you as our newest family member just in time ;). I was short on energy and needed an easy dinner and voila, the perfect solution in your recipe collection. A hit with my 8 and 10 yo boys that both wanted it in their lunches the next day and informed me that I would be making it many times :). I used leftovers from a deli chicken and frozen peas because that's what I had on hand. I don't generally buy jarred alfredo sauce but I did have one package of the powdered mix, so added it to a can of cream of mushroom soup. For the crust I used refrigerated crescent roll dough (again what I had on hand) and it worked perfect. Thanks you so much for another great recipe Susie! Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring 2011 :)

Another winner of a dinner here. Simple and flavorful. I used leftover roasted chicken that I had made the night before and then used the red pepper alternative as listed. Hubby does not like green beans in his pies so I just used a mix of frozen white corn, petite peas and fresh carrots which I sliced thin and micro-cooked for a bit to soften before adding to the dish. Susie you will be missed and I'll always think of you and your kindness when I make this dish again and again.

Wow, was this good. Quick and easy to make with wonderful results. It had great textures and tasted amazing. I used what I had on hand, which was leftover turkey breast, frozen corn and peas, sweet red peppers, 4 cheese Alfredo Sauce and packaged pie crust. It turned out great. Thanks for sharing another winner with us Susie. You will forever be missed my friend. Lovingly made for Susie's Cookathon.

What a fun way to make pot pie using alfredo sauce. It certainly lived up to it's name - Super Fast. It hit all of the buttons here for a good meal......it was easy, fast, and tasted good. Made lovingly in remembrance of Susie D. Love ya bunches, GF. :)

I used leftover turkey from my Thanksgiving turkey. I like my pot pies a bit juicy and my jar of alfredo sauce wasn't quite 15 oz, so I added a bit more. Smelled great while baking! Took a bit longer to cook....at 30 minutes the pie crust was still raw on top, so I cooked an additional 5 minutes and then browned it under the broiler. Turned out very good....not the normal flavor of a chicken pot pie, but still good! I do not normally put parmesan in my pot pies, but this was a great quick fix. Made in honor of Susie D for her Cook-A-Thon.
