Preparation

Step 1

Brown meat; drain fat.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remains.
(Note: This usually takes at least a couple of hours).
Cool; fill prepared pie shells, cover with pastry and freeze.*
Remove from freezer 2 hours before baking.
Cut slits in the top pastry to let steam escape.
Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon water and brush on top of pastry.
Bake at 375°F for 1½ hours.
If pastry begins to get too dark, cover with foil.
