  8. Cut another pastry sheet to fit the top and brush egg on top and bake for 20 mins till golden.

  • Nothing beats a delicious home cooked meat pie. The beef has to be cooked to perfection otherwise it can be tough and chewy and that just ruins the dish. I would also maybe add mushrooms and pies as these would be a great combination to go with the meat pie if you were wanting the pie to go a bit further.

  • Oh yum! This sounds really really tasty. I’d love it. I do wonder if I’m capable of making it, but luckily I have some help in the kitchen if I need it. This would be so good as a family meal wiht vegies, or a slice for a quick lunch for me.

  • I wonder if I could swap it for chicken and the red for white wine? It looks so good.

  • Ooh, without realising, I’m pretty much making the filling in my slow cooker today. Was planning on serving it as a stew/casserole type meal.

  • I just love this recipe and thank you for sharing. If I can’t get any pastry then this recipe would go down just as well as a casserole I’m thinking.
