savory meat pie
I have had this recipe for years and have tweaked it to make it my own ever since. I love everything pastry, and I love savory meat dishes. This is the best combination of both! This pie will impress at a party, potluck, and your husband... no matter the season. Best when the weather is a little chilly, but convenient in summer. You can lighten this up and reduce the heavy spices if the weather requires a lighter meal. I often make empanadas with this filling to make them travel-friendly. I fell in love with Scottish meat pies while traveling, but I have to say this is better.

How To Make savory meat pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a skillet, combine beef, onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and any other vegetables if you choose more. Cook while breaking up the meat over medium heat until the beef is cooked through.
-
Step 2Lower the heat to medium. Add the beer, steak sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is done.
-
Step 3Add the cheddar cheese and stir.
-
Step 4Line a pie plate or skillet with a pie crust. Transfer the meat mix into the pie dish or skillet.
-
Step 5Put the top crust on and press the edges closed. Then cut an X in the center.
-
Step 6Brush the top with egg.
-
Step 7Place the pie on a baking sheet and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Step 8Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
-
Step 9Take out and cool for 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy this savory pie.

Step 10You are welcome to play around with the ingredients in this filling. It should always have the ground beef, potatoes, carrots, and beer. I usually add red bell peppers, peas, and corn if it needs more bulk. I also use malt beer if I do not have dark beer, as it has a “bite” to it, as dark beer does. I often add Worcestershire sauce for extra richness and cayenne for a “kick.” Have fun and enjoy this savory comfort food.
