Meat Pie Recipe 

A hearty, comforting meat pie filled with a rich, flavorful meat and vegetable filling, all wrapped in a golden, flaky puff pastry crust.

 Ingredients:

For the Filling:

500g (1 lb) minced meat (beef, pork, lamb, or a mix)

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large carrot, grated

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 can (400g) crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Pastry:

2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Cook the Filling:

Sauté the Onions and Garlic:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Brown the Meat:

Add the minced meat to the skillet.

Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Add Vegetables:

Stir in the grated carrot and chopped red bell pepper.

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings:

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring well.

Season with dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.

Let the mixture simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

3. Prepare the Pie Crust:

Grease a Pie Dish:

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with a bit of oil or non-stick spray.

Line the Dish with Pastry:

Carefully press one sheet of puff pastry into the bottom of the pie dish.

Trim any excess, but leave a slight overhang for sealing.

4. Assemble the Pie:

Fill the Pie:

Pour the prepared meat mixture into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it evenly.

Top with Pastry:

Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling.

Press the edges together to seal, and crimp with a fork for a decorative edge.

Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits on the top for steam to escape.

Egg Wash:

Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.

5. Bake:

Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm with a side of salad, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

 Tips for the Perfect Meat Pie:

For a Richer Filling: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of smoked paprika to the filling.

Make it Cheesy: Add a layer of shredded cheese over the meat filling before sealing with the top pastry.

Vegetarian Option: Substitute the meat with cooked lentils, mushrooms, or a mix of your favorite vegetables.

This hearty, velvety soup is the food equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket on a cold day. Packed with tender potatoes, crispy bacon, melty cheese, and rich, creamy goodness, it’s comfort food at its finest.

Whether you’re serving it up for a cozy weeknight dinner or making a big batch for a weekend gathering, this soup is guaranteed to steal the spotlight — and leave everyone going back for seconds.

Why You’ll Love This Soup

• Thick, creamy, and rich – Just the right blend of cream, cheese, and butter to create that luscious texture.
• Loaded with flavor – Smoky bacon, sharp cheddar, and savory potatoes all come together in one perfect spoonful.
• Easy to make – Simple ingredients, minimal prep, and a one-pot process make it a weeknight win.

Ingredients

• 6 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups milk (whole milk or 2% preferred)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, but adds depth)
• Green onions, extra bacon, sour cream, and more cheese for topping

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
2. Sauté the aromatics
   Add butter to the pot with the bacon fat. Sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, then stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
3. Make a roux
   Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and whisk constantly for about 1–2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the soup later.
4. Add the liquids
   Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, milk, and cream. Stir well to eliminate lumps. Bring to a gentle boil.
5. Cook the potatoes
   Add diced potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
6. Add cheese and bacon
   Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Then fold in most of the cooked bacon, saving a bit for topping.
7. Serve hot
   Ladle the soup into bowls and top with green onions, extra cheese, bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream for the full “loaded” experience.

Tips & Variations

• Want it extra creamy? Use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup before adding the cheese.
• Add some heat with a dash of cayenne or a few chopped jalapeños.
• Go vegetarian by skipping the bacon and using veggie broth. Add sautéed mushrooms or roasted corn for a hearty twist.
