The filling is slightly better than swanson’s beef pie, with more meat and veggies, and very tasty. There’s almost too much filling, and once you mix in the crust, the whole pie gets really dense. The crust isn’t very flaky, though, and I prefer the swanson pie crust. Don’t cook this in the microwave: it make the crust a bit too crunchy and hard, and the microwave makes the beef a bit tough. b+
