in old Alexandria, I have been trying to recreate this for 2 years with no success – it is similar to a Shepherd’s Pie except it has actual pie crust for the bottom and sides – does anyone have any ideas how to make this and keep the crust from getting soggy. Thanks

maybe you could make sure the ingredients are cooled down before putting the stuff on the pie crust before putting them in the oven. You might want to look up a recipe for Cornish pasties, as that is also cooked meat and potato, etd wrapped in a pie crust and put in the oven. Of course, I am a terrible cook so this advice could be wrong.
The shepherds pie that I make has a biscuit crust on the bottom and a biscuit crust on the top. I make my biscuit dough spread half of it on the bottom of pan . Then cut up my potatoes, carrots meat and mix some gravy with it . You can also add other vegetables. Then I put the other half of the biscuit dough on top. Bake in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes. I set my oven at 450*. I also microwave my vegeatables first and gravy just to heat it up a bit. Sometimes if you don’t the vegetables don’t seem to be as hot and the biscuit dough is done but vegees are not hot.
Please does anyone else have a viable recipe that is close to this – if so respond with recipe. Thanks
