This is quick, easy and simple pie to make that my whole family loves. I use bisto gravy granules to thicken ours opposed to flour for a more beefy flavour. It makes for a great no fuss mid week meal and is great one for those cold winter nights. I serve ours as is but you can serve with chips or mashed potato and vegetables or whatever is your favourite. If you would like to see the original recipe please click here.

I had a party over the weekend and made several dishes I am posting them separately so please keep posted for the other recipes you can see in the photo. They were all excellent and went down a real treat with the guests. I made the three you see on the platter along with some dips, sushi, salad and spring rolls. It was a perfect Asian feast that we all loved. I will be looking forward to making these again soon. If you would like to read more reviews on this recipe or see more photos please click here.
