Family Meat Pie
I love pies but I'm always concerned aboout what is actually in the pre-packaged ones. So I came up with this recipe and every now and then I make up a huge batch of this meat filling, make a family sized pie for dinner, and a whole batch of single serve pies for the freezer. If you prefer a chunkier meat pie, use 500g diced beef instead.
