Meat Pie

This is a decent basic meat pie revamp. When I made this, I added in chopped mushrooms and grated point free veges to bulk it out and to make sure I had my veges for the day!

There are two point values for this dish. The exact recipe below is 5.5 points. A variation listed at the bottom is 4 points.

Meat Pie
Serves 6

Ingredients:
2 sheets x Pampas Reduce Fat Puff Pastry
500g lean beef mince
1 x Onion, diced
1 cup of Beef stock (made with stock cube)
2 tbls of Worcestershire sauce
2 tbls of BBQ Sauce
2 tbls of Gravox Lite Supreme
Mixed Herbs, to taste
Salt & Pepper, to taste.

Method:

1. Heat oven to 200'C. Spray a oven proof pie dish with non-stick spray. Lay one sheet of puff pastry on the base. Prick the pastry many times with a fork. Blind bake this in the oven for 20 minutes, or until puffy and almost golden. Remove from oven.

2. Heat a non-stick pan. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the mince and cook until all brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until the sauce thickens. You may need to add more gravox or water to get the consistency you enjoy.

3. Add in the mixed herbs and the salt and pepper to your liking.

4. Spoon filling into the pie shell, top with second pastry sheet. Brush with water and bake in the oven until golden.

- To reduce the points value, do not make a pie shell and only use one sheet of pastry over the top.
