I want to make this, and I bought a frozen pie crust already in the aluminum foil pan.
The package says to let it thaw for 15 minutes before filling. Comes out great!

Bake 45 minutes or until pie is golden brown. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top and bake 2-3 minutes longer until cheese is melted. Cool 5 minutes.
