So I love pot pies. Marie Calendar makes a decent one you can buy at Costco for super cheap. I don’t really care if they’re healthy, processed, gluten free, keto, type2 friendly, low cholesterol, paleo, whatever… they taste pretty good. But they always seemed to be lacking a little goodness.
So a while back I buttered (Kerrygold Irish burger) the hell out of those frozen little bastards, and threw them on the smoker at 225 for a couple hours. I figured they might turn out okay. They were amazing. Magical. Like Lucky Charms the leprechaun rode in on a unicorn and gave them all the Irish love he could.
So my wife had cataract surgery today. I made her some Udon soup as that’s what she really wanted. I buttered and threw these little bastages on an hour and a half ago. They still have some time to go, but here is the progress so far.
I’ll update with some final pics when they are done.

I wish there was such a thing as smell-o-vision so you guys could smell the amazing goodness.

I love those pies and that’s some creative thinking right there those look delicious. I would have never thought of doing that and that’s coming from a guy who’s smoked Cheetos!

Well... it takes longer than the 10 minutes in the microwave I usually subject them to, but they come out of there tasting pretty good. I can't imagine how much better yours must be!
Thanks for the tip!

I run them for two hours at 225°.
This time I used the Costco pellets in my recteq. They are oak, hickory, map,e and cherry. They’re okay. I don’t care for the oak that much.
I usually use Traeger blend of maple, hickory, cherry.

Yes. Out of the freezer. Rubbed with warm-ish butter that stiffened up as it froze to the crust.
Two hours at 225°. Only reason the lid was ever opened was to take pics for you guys.
