Scottish Mince Pie

By: Karen Barbour 
"My mother-in-law made this pie in Scotland. It is not a sweet mince pie, but it's easy to make, and a hearty dinner. I serve boiled parsley potatoes and a nice salad with this pie. My children always ask for this pie when they come home to visit."

Original Recipe Yield 1 -9 inch pie
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
  • 4 cups water to cover
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Place the ground beef in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover beef. Boil until beef is cooked through. Drain.

  4. Combine the 1/4 cup water with the cornstarch and stir until smooth. Add to the beef mixture and cook until mixture has thickened.
  5. Pour beef mixture into the pastry crust and cover the top with pastry. Crimp edges and prick top.
