Except they taste like CRAP compared to home-made. Geez, I thought you were a cook.

He's just sayin' that, for all of Ken's efforts, the results won't be a bit better than a Swanson.

For your cats, MAYBE. Swanson pot pies are pure shit. Stouffer's maybe, Marie Callendar definitely. Swanson? No ****ing way. You are such a pig man.

First off, avoid using canned soup. Too darn salty.

For my crust, I make some regular biscuits, slice in half and use as toppers on the pot pit casserole.
