Classic English Beef and Potato Picnic Pie Recipe

    This is a nice recipe but most certainly NOT a traditional English meat and potato pie. You will never see tomatoes, tomato paste nor garlic for that matter in any traditional English meat and potato pie. Although a good recipe in its own right the title is very misleading. The BBC has a good traditional English meat and potato pie recipe. No tomatoes or tomato paste involved.

    Traditional English Beef & Potato Picnic Pies – Pasties, Delicious little hand pies which are ideal for picnics as well as for brunch, lunch & light snacks These are very easy to make & can be made ahead & frozen for up to 3 months I made these using individual 5 disposable aluminium pie tins; however, the ingredients listed would also make a large double-crusted plate pie Serve them warm or cold with pickles, relishes, chutneys & assorted salads Also wonderful with hot gravy! The individual 5 pies that have been made here are quite generous, so if you wish, make them smaller than that – maybe in a muffin tin!, This is a nice recipe but most certainly NOT a traditional English meat and potato pie You will never see tomatoes, tomato paste nor garlic for that matter in any traditional English meat and potato pie Although a good recipe in its own right the title is very misleading The BBC has a good traditional English meat and potato pie recipe No tomatoes or tomato paste involved , These were really good! However, I did make some tweaks used ground turkey, just to lighten it up a bit I added cinnamon to the spice blend, which really perked up the flavor a lot I found the mixture to be really soupy, so I ended up draining off a lot of the liquid I would use considerably less broth than written here and probably would drain the tomatoes before adding them used refrigerator biscuits instead of puff pastry – they were the perfect size rolled out, and a lot more economical than puff pastry They were a hit at my party last night!
