Twila Burkholder of Middleburg, Pennsylvania uses prepared pie crust to speed preparation of this homemade meat and vegetable pie topped with a tasty mushroom gravy. "It takes a little longer to make two pies," Twila notes. "But the reward comes when you pull the extra pie out of the freezer later and pop it into the oven."

Have not tried this yet but sounds good. My question is do you completely thaw the frozen pie before baking, partially thaw or just bake while it is still frozen? Recipe does not indicate what to do.

I added some tomato jc. to the filling and subbed 2 cups frozen mixed veggies for celery & carrots. It's awesome having one waiting in the freezer for busy days! We've served it with the gravy from the recipe, but it's also great with ketchup or greek salad dressing on top :)
