  1. 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! :)
     
  2. Excellent meat pie. Loved all the flavor from the meat and spices. Used both top and bottom shortcrust but otherwise as written. Did serve with mashed potatoes and peas as suggested. Very filling but easy meal.
     
  3. Great meat pie. Perfect consistency and great flavor. It was really easy to prepare, too. We enjoyed this comfort meal with some mashed potatoes, gravy and a green salad. I follow flower7's tips on cook temps in F. and tomato sauce=ketchup.
     
  4. This recipe is so good. My dh has decided that your recipe is the best one that he has tried on Zaar/Food so far. We both really enjoyed this tasty treat. 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.
