"While we loved the beef pie's lush, dimensional gravy (a hallmark of ultra-savory beef pot pies over their creamy chicken counterpart), this pie's chief sin was that there just weren't enough veggies or beef in the filling. Still, it wasn't bad. As we mentioned in our review, "Was this beef pot pie better than a chicken pot pie? No, but it was still pretty tasty, and if you tend to prefer beef over chicken anyway, then you really can't go wrong with this option.""
"Ultimately, Marie Callender's is a famously big name in the chicken pot pie game for a reason, and here at Tasting Table, we've long been singing its praises. When paired side-by-side, Marie Callender's ultra-creamy, comforting chicken pot pie is a timeless classic that just trumps the beef. Quoth our reviewer, the crust "offers that perfect buttery, doughy, flaky contrast alongside the creamy filling," which is loaded with enough chicken and veggies to leave us satisfied."
Marie Callender's frozen entrees vary in quality, with the chicken pot pie outperforming the beef pot pie in a 16-item frozen meal ranking by placing second versus seventh. The beef pot pie features a lush, dimensional gravy typical of savory beef pies but lacks sufficient beef and vegetables in the filling. The chicken pot pie delivers an ultra-creamy, comforting filling, ample chicken and veggies, and a buttery, doughy, flaky crust that complements the filling. Consumer responses emphasize repeat purchases and freezer-staple status, with many shoppers praising consistent flavor and satisfying texture.
