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.

This is the last recipe I am posting from the ones I made for the party I had on the weekend. This was one of my son’s favourites but then again he loves peanut butter and I made my own peanut satay sauce to accompany this dish and he ate more than anyone. Again this is a very easy dish to prepare and is not time consuming, the only thing I did differently in this recipe was to brown the chicken balls first before finishing them off in the oven, just to give them some colour on the outside.
