Hearty and warming, this classic Meat and Onion Pie is every pie-lover’s dream! You’ll notice that most of my ground meat recipes use a combination of beef and pork. I find that the fattier, sweeter pork meat enhances the flavor of the beef, meaning you end up with a meat mixture that’s more flavorful, rich and tender.
Obviously, any meat pie has to have a good helping of onion and garlic to make it even tastier, and here I use some extra flavors like mustard powder and sage (both always go great with pork), and thyme and cloves. Using store-bought pie shells makes the whole thing super easy and quick to put together – you can have the whole thing ready in under an hour!
To make the Meat and Onion Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Add the chopped potato to a pan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cook for about 5 minutes until the potato is tender.
Drain the potatoes. Mash them well, until all lumps have been removed, and put to one side.
While the potato is cooking, you can start preparing the meat. Place a large pot over a medium heat. Add the beef and pork, along with the mustard powder, garlic, onion, thyme, cloves, sage, pepper, and salt. Pour over the water.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture is well combined, until the meat is browned all over.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the potato.
Place one of the pie shells into a pie dish or plate. Spoon in the meat mixture, and then place the second pie crust on top.
Use a fork to prick the top shell a couple of times, to allow steam to escape. Crimp the edges of the pie shell using a fork and trim any excess dough. Use aluminum foil to cover the very edges of the pie crust, so that it doesn’t burn.
Bake for 25 minutes, until the crust has turned a golden brown.
Serve the pie on its own or with a thick beef gravy ladled over.
Serve this tasty Meat and Onion Pie with a good coating of rich gravy and a side of buttery mashed potatoes, absolutely classic! What do you think of my simple but delicious pie recipe? Have a go and don’t forget to tag #cookmerecipes in your pie posts!
