Heres what goes in the meat pie filling.

For convenience, use store bought for both if you wish.

How to make Meat Pies

In Australia, shortcrust pastry comes frozen in square sheets.

If youre in the US or Canada, use refrigerated pie crusts (the rolled up punch in).

If this happens, just take some out.

Meat Pie ingredients

Just cant achieve the same sauce flavour using mince (but still so SO tasty!)

Secondly, as with all stews, the filling is even better the next day!

Still tasty but very messy!

To smear or not to smear?

?To this day, I cannot believe there are people who eat meat pies without tomato sauce.

I really give a shot to respect personal preferences….. but I will never understand!

It will take you the better part of a day to make homemade meat pies.

Its quite involved and theyre especially fiddly because were making individual pies rather than one large pie.

Are they as good as what you’ve got the option to buy?

Better than your everyday bakery by a long shot, even using store bought pastry.

Way WAY better than the average frozen meat pies from the supermarket.

There are no words.
