Grandma Miller's Meat PiesHi Everyone! The week is half over again! Hope you're coping well with this cold weather we've been experiencing...just remember! It won't last forever, in July and August, we'll be DREAMING about a cool winter's day...SURE we will!
On May 22, 2007, I featured my Grandma's Meat Pies and finally got up the nerve to try making them a few nights ago. They turned out pretty good, I must say...for my first attempt at making pies. There are now some changes to the recipe that I didn't notice when I wasn't making it but just reading it. I also didn't use homemade pie crust or fresh/canned veggies but frozen. I couldn't find ground clove so bought pumpkin pie spice, it didn't have a bad effect on the pie at all. Because we had homemade beef stock in the fridge I used it instead of OXO cubes and boiling water, next time I will try 1 cup of stock instead of 1-1/2 cups, I had to drain it off into a bowl after the 20 minute cooking time and the lid was removed for part of the 20 minute cooking time. The pie is all gone now, so I guess it was pretty good! Hubby says he remebers having meat pie while growing up but it didn't have peas and carrots and it was topped with steak sauce or HP sauce...I remember having mine with ketchup! Enjoy!
