500 g beef mince (I use the Heart Smart Mince which is low in fat)
3 sticks celery, chopped
400g can diced or crushed tomatoes
¾ cup beef stock
¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoon Barbecue Sauce
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon water
Method …
Add olive oil, onion and carrot to pan and stir over a medium heat until just soft.
Add mince, break up with a fork and cook stirring until browned.
Add celery, tomatoes, beef stock, Worcestershire Sauce and Barbecue Sauce and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat to a simmer, uncovered for approximately ½ hour or until liquid has been reduced by half.
Combine cornflour and water and add to the beef mixture while stirring and continue to stir until mixture thickens. If necessary, simmer the meat mixture a little longer until it’s not too runny.
Cut pastry to size (using the circular cutter that comes with most Pie Makers). Spray the pie holes of the Pie Maker (top and bottom) lightly with cooking spray, place base piece of pastry into Pie Maker, fill with meat filling and top with pastry. Repeat this process until all 4 pies have been constructed.
Use a pastry brush to brush top of pies with milk, close Pie Maker and cook for the desired time.
