I bought a chest freezer recently so I can finally indulge my grandma instincts of Make An Unreasonable Amount Of Food For Not Much Money And Eat Of It For Months

Today I bought two rotisserie chickens and made SIX large chicken pot pies (9" pie tins), used the leftover carcasses and have chicken stock going in the slow cooker, with enough leftover chicken meat and veg to make chicken rice soup tomorrow for DnD and probably have quite a bit to freeze as well.

#totaled up everything cost abt $35-40 #including the foil pie tins because i did NOT have that many glass ones #which? for that much GOOD food? im quite proud #coulda done it for less if i hadnt used instant mashed potatoes but it saved enough hassle to be worth it #my family always made pot pie to use up leftovers from a Big Chicken Dinner #bottom 'crust' was mashed potatoes #middle filling was chicken bits and whatever veg we had mixed into the gravy #one crust on top #mom ALWAYS made her crusts by hand #but i decided to just use store bought ones #ive missed pot pie #but my teeny tiny freezers have never allowed for it really #because its most efficient when done in a Fuckoff Huge Batch #and my tiny amount of freezer and fridge space never made it worthwhile before
