I have found that if there is no home made pot pie squares in the pantry or no time to make, I have substituted with Mrs. Weiss(R) Enriched Kluski Egg Noodles. Use the same weight (or more if desired) as you would home made pot pie squares in your recipe. The Kluski noodles (which I use in my chicken corn noodle soup sometimes) thickens up really nice and is wonderful good! The Kluski noodles really sop up the goodie broth in the pot pie!
Chicken pot pie was my Mom's usual. Onions, celery, chicken pieces or chicken taken off the bone, sliced potatoes, some chicken broth, parsley, and bow tie noodles. She never made her own noodles though I bet they'd be excellent. I like the bowties because the outer bow parts are softer and the inner parts in the center are chewier. Great dish for a cold winter night. This is pretty similar to chicken corn soup. For that you'd use more broth, onions, celery, parsley, diced chicken, corn, noodles. Oh that's good eating! A Banquet or Marie Callender pot pie is good, esp. the Marie's one with double crust, but that is NOT PA German pot pie. It's completely different. Well, if here in Florida some church is having a pot pie dinner, that would be a friggin' miracle. LOL. I guess I will chust have to get MY church to have one! We're Lutherans, some of us know what real pot pie is, but not too many. Them Norwegian Lutherans don't know it.
my Grammy always made her own noodles for Pot Boi, usually whole chicken she'd boil with an onion and celery. I often sat with her at the kitchen table while she pulled the meat from the bones and made the noodles. as kids we loved to add a spoon of brown mustard to our bowl, which made her laugh. Try it it's unbelievably good. She'd say if anyone finds a bone they get another bowl.
You guys crack me up!! I started watching your videos to try to learn how to speak Pennsylvania Dutch because I deliver mail to the Amish. Ive learned a lot & laughed a lot! Thank you 😊 Love your videos!
My wife, from Northampton, insists that pot pie is meat in its broth and dough squares and that's it. Now being Berks County born and raised, I know it needs vegetables and corn starch or flour to thicken it into a stew. I say she is making meat and dumplings. It's not bad, but it's not pot pie. Pilot/Flying J truck stops have chicken pot pie on a soup bar that is actually pretty close to actual pot pie. It's a bit salty and lacks the dough squares, but it's close to how mom made it. On the organic note, I saw at Redners over the weekend a small roll of aluminum foil, for almost $6, that was labeled "100% recycled aluminum." The cheap brand of the same size, that's made mostly if not entirely of recycled aluminum was like $1.
I grew up on Chicken Pot Pie. We never had any other meat in ours. My mom would make it and we would buy quarts of it at the farmers market. Always just chicken. Even my wife’s family ate chicken pot pie. My father in-law put ketchup on it. He’s the only person I ever heard that does that. I love ketchup, but not on that!
My Grandma was plenty Dutch and she made fresh sausage pot pie with home made noodles. It was thick enough that you didn't need a bowl. It wasn't soupy. She also made "baked pot pie" with a crust, usually with pork, sliced potatoes and vegetables in broth. Both were delicious. I miss her and those dishes.
Yes, I automatically thought fresh or smoked sausage when they were discussing what meats could be used; really anything that doesn't fall apart while stewing.
Ham pot pie is my favorite. My Dutch grandma would fry the left overs the next day. So good. You could open a Dutch restaurant and massage parlor. Call it Rivals n Rubs. Cheers
Chicken pot pie is the way to go. Its made with hand rolled noodles. The flour off the noodles slightly thickens the juice. Its not gravy. Its just a thicker juice. Its soup. And ya cant add too many vegetables. Corn and potatoes.
I want a fish pot pie, but I can't think of a firm enough fish to handle the hearty soup. Any suggestions? P A Pennysylvania Pot Pie (is a) Yummy Soup PAPPY'S Sorry, a little convoluted, but I am not a real PA Dutchman.
Dunna vetter, I don't know why this is so confusing. A "pie" is any dish served in a cupped, flour crust. It can be a meat pie, or a pumpkin pie, berry pie etc.... With pot pie there is NO pie (as in a cupped, flour crust) instead the POT serves this function. The pot replaces this crust, and is the cupped structure that holds the contents... that's why it is a "pot" pie. The noodles, while always called noodles, are also poorly named and are really dumpling like and must be home made. Noodles from the store can't make pot pie. I think what happened is some Moravians left Bethlehem for the Carolinas to start a new colony... and took their cooking with them. Once there "Pot pie" lost it's identity and became the souths "Chicken and dumplings". Strangers, who heard people in Pennsylvania eat "pot pie" imagined what that would be, and started this idiocy of making it in a pie shell with peas and carrots. (which have no business being in pot pie to begin with) Pot pie is the meat, dumplings (noodles) and some cubed potatos. That's it. Some people eat it in a bowl with some of the cooking broth, others scoop the contents out on a plate and eat them "dry". In either case lavish with salt and pepper and go at it. IMHO the best kind is chicken.
Gentleman, good news... my wife made the legitimate pot pie with the remainder of the thanksgiving turkey... She watched your videos and she has converted... she is now on the right path...
I grew up with chicken or beef pot pie. But now I prefer ham pot pie or turkey pot pie. I do still make chicken pot pie a lot because I make a lot of chicken stock. I also make chicken pies with the crust. But that is not pot pie. That’s a meat pie.
Doug, you mentioned that crust should be eaten for desert ---well, we sure enjoy PA Dutch Corn Pie with a crust too! I agree, Bot Boi is NOT made with a crust. For us chicken or turkey Bot Boi is near the top of favorites.
Hello! I have had this same discussion with my wife who has grown up in Berks county. The PA Dutch version of chicken pot pie isn’t really a pie. The rest of the free world calls it homemade chicken noodle soup! I think chicken and dumplings may even be a semi-acceptable description. I love it, it’s delicious... buts its name is misleading. I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation for it and I’m not saying to change or anything, but having lived all over the USA, I can tell you without a doubt that it’s not a universally recognized product under that particular name. You wouldn’t call chicken noodle soup a pie and it’s basically all the same ingredients.
@@melissafoultz452 Exactly! It’s made in a pot, like chicken and dumplings. It’s not baked or made in a pie pan. Even though pie filling could be made in a pot or saucepan, but it’s still not called apple saucepan pie. 😜
I love any butt boi. When my mom would make a meat pie; it was most the time beef, carrots and potato, onions. But she used a large ceramic bowl, with a crust top. Also good.

We’ve even had lima bean pot pie...does anyone else drizzle pot pie with vinegar?
Of course!
PLEASE make the video about the negative comments. What a great laugh that would be! I'm already entertained just by the thought of it.

My family makes rabbit pot pie but i honestly prefer marinating and grilling rabbit..Rabbit can be real good if made right..
Turkey or Chicken
Look, it's easy. Pot pie is the stuff with the noodles. Chicken pie has the crust. Chicken pie is good, pot pie is better.
The two Dutchman restaurant.
Turkey pot pie.. 😊

I had ostrich pot pie in Namibia, Africa.. ps. Namibia used to be a German colony
Oh, that's very interesting -- it got translated into ostrich!
Crust!
HEY, i come from ohio i know the pot pie that are noodle like with a beef roast and the broth
Ham pot pit is better and you need the thick home made square noodles just like G Grandma Rininger used to make.

Turkey Pot Pie is good eating!
@@PADutch101 This time of year the best when the corn is ready, aint?

It's made in a pot, how is that misleading? What's misleading is calling baked chicken pie (the one with a crust) pot pie

It’s called pot pie because many people make the “dumplings” with pie dough. So you’re throwing pie dough into a pot, therefore pot pie
@@morganbeatty4070 😮 oh I see!

Ver dumm sei ....of course it got Nudeln in it!! Happy Sumday
Meat pies are disgusting. Pies are meant to have fruit or molasses in them. Or cheese cake, thats acceptable.
For pot pie, it should be ham. I tried it with beef broth & it's decent. Chicken just doesn't have a strong enough flavor for pot pie.
