How to cook a frozen uncooked homemade pot pie?

I want to make 2 different pot pies tonight to save time on another future night (only eat one tonight): NORMAL Cooking times: Beef Pot Pie - 20 minutes @ 450 Chicken Pot Pie - 30-35 minutes @ 425. After I freeze one, at what temperature should I cook it? Should I let it thaw out at all? Will it turn out nasty? Help, Please! Also, how shoould I freeze it? Should I just stick the premade pie in a gallon baggie and/or cover it w/ aluminum foil?

1. That is such a good idea. When I re-heat a frozen pot pie I use the microwave on high about 2 minutes. I feel the middle section and if it is still cold I add another minute or two. As for storage.....After I let things cool down, I put them in plastic baggies so I can see what I have in the freezer.
2. Bake all first, freeze extras wrapped in foil, then in plastic baggie. To reheat, allow to thaw at least partially in the frige. Heat in 350 oven about 40 mins. uncovered. If you're concerned with the crust browning too much, start with just the top covered for a while.
