Family Beef and Mushroom Pie

“Can we pleeeeease have a pie for dinner Mum?” This has been a common request from my 6 year old for the last few weeks. I have also been craving meals that are a little more substantial than warm weather salads that have frequenting our Summer dinner table. As the weather cools, salads seem a little less appealing. I have started serving more cooked vegetables with meals.
(Minor issue: I got very excited about my new vegetable garden and have probably/definitely planted more lettuce than is required for this time of year. As a result, the salads will continue here for a couple more months regardless of the weather !)
This beef and mushroom pie was made for my big six year old son. It is fabulously full of flavor. The meat falls apart in your mouth and the mushrooms add a luscious earthy goodness.
I made individual pies for this recipe but you could also make a large family sized pie if you prefer. I like to make a variety of sizes that then allows for extras to be frozen for Mr Fresh’s work lunches or as a back up meal after a hectic day.
This family Beef and Mushroom Pie is a satisfying cool weather dinner. Fabulously full of flavor the meat falls apart in your mouth and the mushrooms add a luscious earthy goodness.
Make the filling a day ahead if you do not have the time to make this meal in one day

Oh my, what a perfect meal for the coming cooler weather – and a surefire way to encourage family devotion!
I hope that my cooking is not the only reason for their devotion Amanda, but I am happy if it is one of the reasons 🙂 Thanks for dropping by.
I definitely crave different food as the weather changes. Loving your pie!
Thanks Lizzy.
Yum, yum, yum. I am soooooo glad that the weather is finally cooling and I can start to turn my oven on more. Love a recipe that makes extra to freeze. Thanks.
Me too Tania. I like to keep it well stocked.
