whittlejohn's Note:

Simple/Easy Recipe - Very Flavourful!! Great for holidays since it can be quickly prepared and frozen. This recipe was a traditionally served Christmas Eve and during the holidays by my Mother, Elizabeth Anne and continues to be a carried on with our family now. It wasn't Christmas until you could savour the smell and taste of Mom's meat pie. Enjoy and share! But don't wait till Christmas to "Enjoy and Share". Thank heavens for Mothers!!!
