This family meal is so easy to make ahead of time and simply finish off in the oven just before you are ready to eat. It freezes perfectly well too. If you use individual pie dishes or a pie maker, it is even easier to freeze each one individually, then voila, perfect dinner for one at any given time of day or night after school, soccer, ballet, work etc.
