5Fit pastry into 9" deep dish pie plate. Fill with hot meat-potato mixture. Cover with remaining pastry. Build up edge and crimp. Slit top crust in several places. Brush with beaten egg, if desired.

6Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 and bake 15-25 minutes, until crust is nicely browned. Serve hot or warm. NOTE: Meat mixture can be put in Ziploc bags and frozen. Thaw out and put in pie crusts, then bake as above.
