Review: Aldi Brand Bremer's Chicken Pot Pies

Haven't had single pot pies in a while, so whilst at Aldi's I saw their own brand, so I thought I'g give 'em a spin.

I am not a fan of microwave pot pies, and I stopped buying the Morton and Banquet Pot Pies when they came out with those, as they just did not taste right. Also there are many brands out there with no bottom crust, a pot pie travesty!

"Before" still frozen but almost looked cooked due to the color.

In the oven almost done.

So Aldi's brand can be cooked in a regular oven, so that is better for a nice brown crust. Microwave pot pies already have the crust colored a bit to make them look like they are golden brown.

Looks: I could not get it out of the cup and stand on it's own, and the crust did not match the golden brown on the picture, nor did the ratio of chicken, and veggies match the picture either. 2 out of 5

Taste: Lots better that Banquet, but still not as good as the old kind they used to make before microwavable ones came out, in the aluminum pans. 3 out of 5

I would get them again for a quick dinner/snack

Review: Banquet Homestyle Bakes Beef Stew

I was at the checkout at the Marc's grocery store and there was a huge pallet sized display right next to me in the line, with this and several other varies of Home Style Bakes.

The price was $3.28 for the 35.6 oz box, which since I had time in line to read it said there were 2 cans of beef stew, so this was a good deal just for the cans, but with the biscuit mix included I thought I'd try it out.

Preparation was easy, just open the cans into the dish, and mix the biscuit mix with 1/2 cup water (it needed a little more) and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.

Looks: 4 out of 5 pretty close

Taste: 4.5 out of 5 tasted pretty good but hard for anything to get past the can taste.

Would recommend and buy again.
