Directions
1Place steak, mince, onion and bacon into the slow cooker and combine.
2Mix the herbs, curry powder, sauces, garlic and mushrooms together and 600ml of the beef stock (everything expect the cheese) and pour over the mix in the slow cooker.
3Reserve the remaining beef stock and only add more if needed as you cook.
4Give a stir place the lid on and cook on low for around 6 to 8 hours varies depending on your cooker. But 6 is what mine took.
5Continue to stir occasionally.
6Once the pie filling is complete
7Make circles ready for a pie maker and place in the filling in to the pastry, the top with cheese and then place the lid of the pie on top and brush some egg wash on to pastry and cook pie until pastry is ready.
8If making family pies : Line the pie trays with pastry, place filling in top with cheese then place lid on pie, brush with egg wash on top bake until pastry is golden brown on 180 degrees. Top with tomato sauce and serve.

I’ve made this recipe several times using an adaption each time. Eg I didn’t have savoury mince packet so I threw in some beef stock cubes , I forgot to get the mince out to defrost so I just used steak.
This is a huge family favourite and on our regular meals list!
I make the filling the day before or overnight, then make pies the night we’re eating. Quick easy dinner 🙂 love it!

Just use however much you’d need to put a small amount on top of each pie. I’d think 2-3 cups at the most in total?

They are like a meal base packet/flavour pack that is used normally as a base to make savoury mince

Wow Jennifer, your recipe made me look good lol. It was my first attempt at a pie and it was both flavourful and delicious. Nothing left on their plates. Thank you.
