Easy Beef and Guinness Pie
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.
