Freezer
Pot pies are one of those dishes that freeze so well! I love to make two and serve one and freeze the other.
To freeze your pot pie you will want to follow the directions and assemble and cook your pot pie completely. Let it cool. Once cooled you will want to wrap it in plastic wrap a few times and then with foil. This will help protect it from freezer burn.
Thaw in the fridge overnight and then let it come back to room temperature prior to warming back up in the oven.
