My OH, who was a chef in another life, used to try to make as many plate pies using half a pound of minced beef padded out with as much onion, gravy, potatoes, carrots and anything else available, as he could get in the oven. I think the record was 6! We dont have to be quite as frugal these days, but No 1 son will still eat a full pie if given a chance!!!!:j :T :j :T

If you can lay your hands on some 'old style' enamel plates, cheap and cheerful - grab them quick! The metal heats quicker than ceramic and cuts down cooking time - they cool quicker too.
Just before payday, I stretch the half a pound of sausage meat by mixing with a reconstituted packet of OB sage & onion stuffing and lots of minced onion to make several plate pies - lovely hot or cold.

My mum used to make plate pies for dessert, usually apple pie or cherry pie. I bought a metal plate from a hardware shop years ago, i think i will have a go at this myself. Thanks!

Campng shops usually sell enamel plates, and Amazon has them in various sizes for a couple of quid.
My mum made pies on dinner plates, tea plates and saucers !

I bought one recently from a camping shop for just 99p.

I'm certainly going to try these recipes.

Plus a fiver postage!

Ebay has them for the same price, but the postage is only around £1.65.

My late MIL always made individual apple pies on saucers.
