Note

Ensure the pastry is chilled before filling to prevent shrinking during assembly.

The "No Bake" title refers to the filling method; the pastry itself is typically blind-baked or cooked via the boiling liquid method described (hot water crust style). Verify if the final dish requires baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a vegetarian version, replace diced meat with roasted vegetables or lentils.
