Pie Fillings

emiliah

Thanks for all your suggestions - plenty of variety to try out.

I've got 1/2 a chicken left in fridge, so a couple of the chicken ones will be first on the agenda.

Rosie - we love mince & potato plate pie - to make, line an overproof plate with pastry ( I sometimes add some cheese to mine).

Put a layer of cold mince (I usually add onions, celery and diced carrot - cook until nearly all liquid has evaported then add gravy to thicken, you want a firm mix not sloppy) then put cold sliced cooked potatoes on top, season to taste, then pastry lid on top. Seal and pop in oven.

Thank you so much Emiliah. That sounds lovely. I have never tried it with potatoes in, but I suppose you could get away with less meat that way. Oh, can't wait to get some beef next week when i get my Feb grocery money!!!!

My very favourite is sausage and onion plate pie * drools*
It tastes better cold and i use MrM`s lincolnshire sausagemeat for this, i can easily get two pies out of one pack. You could add some stuffing mix for a bit of variety but watch your waistline. It also freezes really well raw or cooked.

Hope you enjoy it Rosie

Thanks sunnyday - going shopping next week and usually get some lovely pork sausages from butcher so will definitely be trying this - as you say some things taste just as nice, if not nicer, cold.
I'm afraid there's not a lot of hope for my waistline:o
