Steak & Mushroom Puff Pastry Pie

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This recipe is made in a casserole dish, but you may make it in a 10-inch *very* deep-dish pie plate, it's made easy using packaged gravy mix, stewing beef may be used in place of the sirloin, throw in some frozen diced peas and carrots and a splash of red wine also if desired --- because of the high soduim content in the gravy mix I suggest not to add in any extra salt."

I initially gave this a four star because it came out a bit soupy. I've since had an "ah, ha" moment. Next time I make it I may double the gravy and put the mixture over mashed potatoes (omitting the puff pastry, of course). I will give this a five star in anticipation of it being fabulous over potatoes, since we love the flavor.

wonderful pies, i used bison and made it as two deep dish tarts. (scaled down of course :D) I hadn't been feeling well and it was really easy to put together as well as comforting
