Reuben Pot Pies

Leftover corned beef?  I have just the thing! Make these individual Reuben Pot Pies.  Rich beef gravy, lots of veggies, corned beef and Swiss cheese, baked to perfection with a "crust" of puff pastry.  Don't have leftover corned beef? Deli corned beef works great. too!

Notes

Helpful Tips to Make Reuben Pot Pies even easier and for only one or two people.

Tip - Only cooking for Two?  Freeze half of this mixture, and only use half of the puff pastry sheet. 
It'll all come back out of the freezer a couple of weeks down the road, and you can enjoy it all over again! (works awesome for meals for one, too!)
Tip - Want to make the prep time even easier?
Use frozen potatoes, onions and a mixed bag of peas and carrots.  The mixture will cook up faster, and you'll eliminate almost all of the chopping.
