I just wanted to let everyone know that if you use frozen pie crusts, check the ingredients for lard. I normally buy the cheapest store brand ones, and have never had a problem. Instead of making a home made pie crust for my pot pie filling, last night, I decided to take a shortcut, defrost, and use a frozen pie crust. It was Pillsburys. I noticed the odor. I commented it smelled like pork. I didn't think a lot about it, but when we went to eat, the crust tasted nasty, and it messed up the taste of the whole dish. Everyone complained. Later on, I checked the list of ingredients. Lard with preservatives added. I dug a couple more out of the freezer. The cheaper store brand had oil. I baked it up, and it tasted fine.
