2 Fan-Favorite Costco Prepared Meals Are Back Just In Time For Fall

Key Points:

• Costco has brought back two popular seasonal items: the Kirkland Signature Chicken Pot Pie and Shepherd's Pie, both available for a limited time and spotted recently in stores like the one in Bolingbrook, Illinois.
• The Chicken Pot Pie features all white meat rotisserie chicken, vegetables, sauce, and a lattice pastry crust, while the Shepherd's Pie includes ground beef, peas, carrots, mushrooms, caramelized onions, red wine, and whipped mashed potatoes.
• These pies typically return in late August and are sold ready-to-bake for around $25 each, weighing about five pounds, making them convenient and affordable meal options.
• Fans praise the pies for their texture and flavor, often buying extras to freeze for later, though some suggest adding more vegetables or adjusting salt levels to enhance the dishes.
• Serving tips include pairing the pies with a bagged salad, applying an egg wash for a golden crust on the chicken pot pie, and balancing the shepherd's pie's saltiness with unsalted mashed potatoes and extra gravy.
