Fray Bentos Chicken and Mushroom Pie

Description: Meat - Ready Meals / Tender chicken pieces and mushroom slices in a creamy sauce topped with a puff pastry.

If you have never seen these before, then where have you been?! They are basically a pie in a tin which is great as they last for ages in the cupboard. You will find them in most supermarkets and they are 425g per pie. I paid £1 for mine on offer from my local shop, which appealed to me so much, I bought 3. Yes, I am a big fan of these pies!

Now Mrs Assasin is not a fan and will not eat them, which is great as I don't have to share! Basically, all I need to do is put the oven on, remove the lid with a tin opener and then bake for around 20 minutes until the pastry is risen and golden.

They have a puff pastry topping which manages to be crispy on top and has a wonderful soggy texture underneath (this is exactly what the Mrs doesn't like and I adore) and then chunks of chicken and mushroom in a creamy white sauce underneath.

Now don't get me wrong, this is never going to rival a home made pie, but it is an excellent stand by. For me, the taste is delicious, the sauce is creamy and the texture of the pastry is incredibly more-ish. I genuinely love these pies and will continue to eat them as often as I can get away with - serve up with a bit of mash and some vegetables and I am in pie heaven!

A definite recommend from me!

Summary: Stash these - they are fab!
