When I was young frozen pot pies were a staple in my diet at 5 for $1.00.

Times sure have changed.

Comfort food at its finest!

Mmmmm-mmmmm, love a good pot pie! It is indeed comfort food.

I make a "quick pot pie" by putting the filling in a casserole dish and covering the top with refrigerated biscuits-in-a-tube that I have split in half horizontally. I have also used the croissants in a tube and stretched the dough across the top.

Pot pie was one of my favorite things. One of these days I'll make a meatless one. I never have made one from scratch.

It is easy to make- basically creamed chicken & veg in a crust - as long as you buy the crust ready made. (Pie crusts and I have a long history ... and not a good one). You could use tofu for the chicken, and (I guess) oat milk for the milk that goes in the gravy. I know there are recipes for pie crusts made with oil on All Recipes.

I don't know if you are a Vegan or a Vegetarian.

You see how RadishRose's photos show the pie pieces intact. That has never worked for me because I like lots of gravy too much.

hahaha, I failed to show the gravy boat that has the extra gravy in it!

I never thought of that. I will do it next time I make a pot pie.

Sometimes I wonder why I don't think of good ideas like that.

I didn't even know there was a pot pie day, but we had them at Cracker Barrel on Tuesday after the doctor's. This was good but I prefer a flaky pie crust type.

You pot pie looks like the type I really like. A flaky crust and bigger vegetables. I hate those frozen ones with tiny and sparse vegetables. Fill it up! If I buy a frozen one (and sometimes I do) I buy Marie Callender's larger sized ones. I had to buy a special dish to bake it in my toaster oven but sometimes a girl just has to have a pot pie on a short notice!

The Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish make and sell their versions of the pot pie. I love chicken pot pie, but beef pot pie, not so much. My wife makes it two different ways. One is in a type of pie shell and the other is without the shell. I prefer without the shell.

I eat plant based. I like soy milk best for cooking. I've wanted to make one for a long time but I'm a lousy cook and I don't like to cook. But one of these days I will make one. I would use tofu but also there is something called soy curls I've never used.
