Cheap and easy meat and potato pie

• I found this recipe on the Tesco website and use it is a lovely winter warming meal. I usually make it in the morning before I go to work and heat it up once I get in. It is well loved by all the family and the leftovers can be taken for a packed lunch the next day.
• Ingredients you will need are...
• A quarter of a pack of Jus Roll shortcrust pastry
• 1 clove garlic – finely diced
• 1 medium onion – diced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 500g diced beef or minced beef
• 2tbsp flour
• 300ml beef stock
• 2 medium potatoes – peeled and cut into small chunks
• 2 tbsp tomato purée
• 2 tbsp Worcester sauce
• salt and pepper
• milk to glaze

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Fry the onion and garlic in the oil. Add the beef and cook until browned. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes have softened. 

Put the mixture into a pie dish.

Roll out the pastry and place on top of the beef mixture.

Glaze the pastry with a little milk and put in to the oven for 30 minutes.

This is super easy to make and cost under £3 to make for 4 portions. I serve it with whatever veg we have in the cupboards or freezer (on this occasion it was cauliflower and green beans).
