Preheat oven to 350F.

Roll out pie crusts to 12″ (or unroll storebought ones.) Place each crust on a baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper.

Mince onion. Dice potatoes to a 1-inch dice (peel or leave them unpeeled if using thin-skinned potatoes.) Cut carrots into 1-inch chunks.

In a large bowl, mix vegetables with ground beef and season with salt and pepper.

Split meat mixture into 2 equal portions. Spoon each portion onto one half of each pie crust. Carefully fold the other half of the crust over the top of the meat mixture and crimp edges together to seal. Make a couple of slits in the top of the dough, to vent steam.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

* Note: these can be frozen before baking. Freeze uncovered on a baking sheet for 1-2 hours, then remove and wrap tightly in foil; return to freezer. Bake from frozen for 1 hour 15 minutes or until cooked through.
