1 1/2 cups of shortening is far too much. I wasn't even up to a cup of shortening before the flour mixture was "a coarse meal." Even before starting this, I figured that was far to much fat for the crust. I stopped there and began to add water, 1 TBSP at a time. Even without the full 1 1/2 cups of shortening, I had to keep adding water beyond 5 TBSPs to get the dough to begin to come together in the slightest. This was such a disappointment. Crusts like this really shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to come together, and I figure while I'm getting the filling ready it will chill.

FYI: I'm sure that there is a correct version of this recipe that perhaps didn't make it to the site. I've seen - more often than not - recipes on Foodnetwork.com that have incorrectly stated measurements. I'm not someone just complaining because recipes don't work. I have seen this as compared to shows and the recipe that is posted; I've heard from friends and family alike who have issues with ingredients as posted online. So, perhaps this is a very good recipe, if it were properly posted.

Taste of filling = great :

The ingredients were simple yet well put together. I used my own home made puff pastry dough and it worked out great. It was a great recipe and will tell all i know about it. thanks

My boyfriend is a chef and approved of this dish. I used another pie dough recipe that I've used before so i can't comment too much on that. But the gravy in this pot pie was excellent.

Filling was delicious. Added mushrooms, garlic and shallots to the sauce. But the crust turned out very poorly. There must be an error in the ingredients because it seemed to have too much shortening and literally did not bake through. We ended up scraping off the crust and eating the filling. Very time consuming - you do end up with a delicious homemade filling but making the crust adds to the time to make it and also for me just did not work at all. I may try this again using the filling and substituting a regular pie crust recipe instead.

Took the advice of earlier reviewers and just used a store-bought crust; can only do so much on a weeknight anyway. But everyone loved it, including a comment that "the best part about it is eating it." Used leftover roasted chicken and the Ingredients for this are similar enough that it was easy to get a pot of stock going at the same time.

Very few ingredients makes this an easy meal. Sauce came out perfect veggies were perfectly cooked with just enough crunch in them. Not a fan of peas so I substituted it with broccali. This meal was fantastic.
