If I know my day will be hectic, I'll pull the meat mixture for this convenient, family-pleasing pie out of the freezer to thaw. And if you use frozen or instant mashed potatoes to top the pie, it's even quicker to fix. —Paula Zsiray, Logan, Utah

Too bland.

Use package of mashed potatoes, any flavor, from the fridge(no frozen) section of grocery. better texture and flavor than instant potatoes and faster prep that fresh potatoes unless your using leftover mashed potatoes.
