You can make a batch of these easy pies and freeze them to have a quick dinner ready whenever you need to. I have made these pies in smaller sizes as well, using little foil forms and I did them both ways – freezing them unbaked as well as baking them first and freezing them for later use. Personally, I prefer freezing them unbaked, carefully defrosting them at room temperature and baking them in time for dinner. You can use commercially available pie crusts, or make you own to make this pie truly country style homemade. Either way – it’s very easy to make and tastes great!
