- 1 minced onion
- 1 minced carrot
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 tablespoon fo Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound of puffed pastry dough thawed if frozen
- 6 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:
1) Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
2) In a large skillet on medium-high heat melt the butter, and saute the onion and carrot. Salt and pepper them.
3) Add the beef and cover it with Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Stir and cook until it is no longer pink.
4) Add the tomato paste mix in well with the beef and vegetables. Cook until the paste begins to brown. Remove the skillet from the burner.
5) Roll out the pastry dough and cut half of it to fit into the bottom of a large pie or quiche dish. Poke holes in the dough with a fork.
6) Pour in the meat mixture and top it with cheese.
7) Top the meat with the other half of the pastry dough that has been rolled out to fit the top of the pie dish. Press the edges down and make a criss-cross pattern on the top of the dough with a fork.
8) Brush the egg yolk onto the top piece of dough and bake for 30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
9) Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Great with a side green salad.
Wow! This looks so great! The kind of comfort food I crave this time of year!
ReplyDeleteYes, meat pies are a definite national New Zealand dish. Even though we have become more cosmopolitan in our tastes
