Does anyone have a good and fairly easy home made pot pie recipe?

Here's my recipe. I remembered I had typed it up so I am copying and pasting.

Chicken Pot Pie (All Recipes.com, modified recipe)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teas salt
1/4 teas black pepper
1/4 teas celery seed
1 3/4 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
2/3 cup milk
1/4 teas garlic salt

2-9 inch unbaked pie crusts (I used Pillsbury roll and bake)
Preheat oven to 425F
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook celery and onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, celery seed, and garlic salt. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Place the chicken, peas and carrots in the bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Popculture's recipe is very similar to mine. Occasionally I will add a few ounces of cheddar cheese to the bechamel sauce to add another flavor dimension. It is a perennial favorite in our house.

My mother in law used to make this and it is CHEAP and the kids and DH love it!!!

1 can tomato soup
1 lb hamburger (browned & drained)
1 can water
1 lb bag (12 oz more likely) frozen mixed veggies
Bisquick (or similar, I've even used tube biscuits or homemade biscuits)

Mix the hamburger, veggies (I sometimes partially thaw them sometimes not), tomato soup and water all together. Put into a 9 x 13 greased pan. Mix up drop biscuits as stated on Bisquick and drop by tablespoonfuls onto the top of the meat mixture. Bake in 350* oven until the biscuits are browned (maybe half an hour) and meat mixture is hot. It does reheat well and even freeze leftovers for take along lunches (hubby has to take his meals to work!).

You can adjust the amount for the number of people you need to feed. When all the girls were home I usually used 2 can tomato soup, 1 1/2 lbs. (or two bags) frozen veggies and 2 lb of hamburger.
