The Great Australian Meat Pie image

Here is a fantastic meat pie recipe. The filling also makes a great pasta sauce. I have a pie maker which I use to bake the pie, however I have given instructions for baking the pie in the oven. If you have a pie maker just place pastry in bottom pie shape fill with filling, place pastry lid on top and let the pie maker do all the work. I don't bother with the egg when using the pie maker. Do not use the conflour to thicken if you are using the filling as a pasta sauce.
