Perfect meal for the snowy & cold weather we are having right now. Being in America required a couple small adjustments... I used 1.1 lbs or 17.6 oz ground beef; your tomato sauce is what we call ketchup (tomato sauce in the USA is a completely different item); in place of the shortcrust pastry, I used a standard pie crust; 230C = 446F and 190C = 374F. Otherwise followed the recipe, except in place of the bouillon cubes I used 1 (heaping) tsp Better than Bouillon beef stock concentrate. Served with more ketchup on the side. So so so good! Thanks for sharing! :)

Loved the flavors and textures of this delicious pie. I took your recommendation and served it with onion mashed potatoes and green peas, it made a wonderful dinner. Thank you so much for sharing a new family favorite, that is quick and easy to get to the table. Made for Best of 2013 Tag Game.
