My take on the classic Kiwi mince pie, served with mashed potatoes and ketchup. . . ultimate down-under comfort food.
Ready in: 1 hour 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon ground black pepper (divided)
• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 32 ounces beef stock
• 3/4 cup frozen peas
• 3/4 cup frozen corn
• 4 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 2 tablespoons Bisto (optional)
• 4 tablespoons corn starch
• 2 (9 inch) pie crusts

Preparation method

Prep: 1 hour | Cook: 30 mins

1. In a large pot combine ground beef, salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce with enough water to cover beef. Bring to a boil and simmer until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain beef in a colander. Wipe pot with paper towel.
2. Return beef to pot and add beef stock, peas, corn, onion, mushrooms, bouillon cube, Bisto, 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. Bring to boil and simmer until onions are soft and mixture is beginning to reduce, 25 to 30 minutes. Whisk corn starch with a small amount of water; add to beef mixture and stir until thickened.
3. Line a pie pan with pastry, add beef mixture, cover with pastry, crimp edges and prick top.
4. Place pie in pre-heated 375 degree oven and bake until crust lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving.Cook’s note

Bisto is a meat-flavored gravy powder.
