Serving: This pepper steak pie makes a hearty meal on its own, but you can pair it with steamed or roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete dinner.
Storage: Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can freeze the unbaked pie for up to 2 months. To bake from frozen, add 10-15 extra minutes to the baking time.
