Creamy Chicken and Corn Pot Pie

     This pot pie is a variation on a recipe from a 2010 edition of Real Simple Magazine.  Unable to find the 14 oz. cans of corn chowder called for in the original recipe,  I substituted with one can of Progresso Chicken Corn Chowder (with bacon!) and a 10 oz. can of undiluted cream of chicken soup.  In my 10 inch dutch oven the pie baked for 40 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the base of the oven, 15 coals in a ring around the outside of the lid and 6 spaced evenly in the center. This is a good and easy way to transform leftovers into a hearty and filling dinner.  Use canned vegetables if you're camping, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the homemade flavor of this quick and convenient pie.
