Beef and Broccoli Pie

    My wonderful Mother-In-Law gave me a huge recipe book for Christmas a couple of years ago. I am slowly working my way through it because it is filled with recipes from some of the best cooks I know. We tried this one out last week and really liked it! It was easy to double the recipe and have one to freeze. Hope you like it as well!
