Divide filling into crusts top with another crust and pinch edges to seal. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes, cover with foil and bake another 30 minutes . Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

This looks very similar to the America's Test Kitchen recipe and it is really good and easy. When I am in a rush and don't have time to make pie crusts, I put the filling in a caserole dish and top with "pop" biscuits and bake until the biscuits are done.
