9
If youre using a store bought crust, its easier to do two large pies.
10
Place crust on a baking sheet and spread meat filling on one half of crust to within 1 of edge.
11
Flop over the crust and seal the edges with a fork.
12
Make a few slits or pierce the pie with a fork so the steam can escape.
13
If you want, you can brush the crust with an egg wash, but I usually dont and it turns out fine.
14
If youre using a homemade crust recipe, you can divide the dough and make two large pies, or 8 small ones.
15
This recipe can also be prepared ahead of time and frozen for an easy meal later.
16
Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
