Easy Meat Pie

Browntrees's Note:

I was given this recipe from my multi-faceted manager, Linda Mitchell as a quick, easy, filling & delicious dish. I don’t eat Pork or Beef, however when I prepare this dish for my Grandmother (Ma), I use a ½ and ½ mixture of ground Turkey and ground Chuck as well as Onion & Garlic powder. You can’t tell it has any ground Turkey in it at all! This simple recipe for meat pie turns out a hit every time!!
