This costs about the same as an ordinary chicken potpie, but one bite and you'll be amazed at how much the salmon adds. With cream cheese and the flaky crust, this is no ordinary casserole. —Tyler Sherman, Williamsburg, Virginia

I also didn't have canned potatoes so just used fresh ones, chopped nice and small, and simmered in the milk for a few minutes to soften.

I'm not a fan of seafood, but I made this casserole for some family and they absolutely loved it! The cream cheese adds a bit of a different creaminess than normal pot pie. I didn't have phyllo pastry so I just used normal pie pastry and it turned out great. My hubby is insisting I make this again, he's more than happy to eat the whole thing himself (over several meals of course).

Simply Scrumptious. I used drained canned peas and carrots instead of frozen. Will definitely make again.
