Helpful Tips for Making Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
- Avoid using too much chicken pot pie filling.
To avoid a soggy pot pie, don’t overfill the dish with the mixture filling.
- Allow the steam to escape.
Poking a few holes in the top of the crust before baking will let the steam escape and create a golden brown topping, avoiding a mushy or soggy crust.
- Let the casserole rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
This ensures that the filling has time to set up and thicken properly.

Recipe FAQs
Watery pot pie filling is often the result of either using too much liquid or too much filling. If the casserole dish is too full, the liquid will leak out and make your crust soggy.
This Bisquick pot pie recipe uses cream of mushroom soup to thicken the filling. If you find that your filling is still not thick enough, a cornstarch slurry will help. Simply combine a tablespoon of cornstarch and a tablespoon of very cold water, then stir it into the filling.
Our recipe for Bisquick chicken pot pie calls for baking it at 400°F for 30 minutes. The filling should be bubbling and the topping should be golden brown.
If the crust is becoming too dark, just cover it loosely with aluminum foil for the remaining bake time.
Store: Leftover pot pie casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat: You can reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave. Cover with foil if reheating in the oven and bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes. If reheating in the microwave, transfer to a microwave-safe dish and heat for 1-2 minutes.
If you want to freeze the meal to enjoy later, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Place the container in the freezer it should keep well for up to 3 months.
When ready to enjoy, transfer the dish to the refrigerator to thaw overnight. Once thawed, reheat in the oven or microwave as instructed above.

Pretty good. 5 stars for having the alternate for canned soup. Ñext time I’m making a side batch of “gravy/sauce” to pour over when serving. I always have these ingredients on hand. Very fresh way to serve left over rotisserie chicken I’ve pulled and put in the freezer.
Krishna Millhoff says
The first time I made this, I followed instructions. The pie crust was thicker than I would have liked and I felt like it overpowered the stuffing.
The second time, I doubled everything except the pie crust section and put it into a casserole dish. This was perfect and everyone was a fan.
There were no leftovers.
